In addition to Sparrow, which wants to open 15 funeral homes around the country in the next five years, there are death-planning sites like Cake and Lantern, direct-to-dead-consumer casket and cremation companies founded by ex-Amazon and ex-Nike executives ( Titan and Solace), a platform called the Dinner Party that connects grieving strangers for meals, and an app, WeCroak, that reminds you that you’re going to die at five random times each day. It’s just one of many end-of-life businesses that have sprung up in the last few years, aimed at offering a better, more modern, more millennial-friendly way of death: cost-transparent, with cleaner aesthetics and consumer-friendly interfaces. In addition to arranging funerals, Sparrow also hosts exit parties - gatherings for the dying but not yet dead, to say good-bye - and meetups known as death cafés to discuss the topic. But everyone is going to die you can’t get away from that one.” “I feel strongly we don’t talk enough about death and dying. “People are given a door to peep in, to walk through,” said Hill. Hill wanted the shop to be warm and inviting in order to draw in passersby - a route into, if not the next world, then a preliminary conversation about it.
It’s not until you look a little closer at the titles of the books or move into the main establishment, where the rooms are filled with rows of empty chairs, that the space’s true nature becomes apparent: Sparrow is a funeral home, and those nice pieces of pottery are cremation urns. Sparrow does, indeed, look very spalike: the décor is pleasantly neutral, with skylights, pastel murals, and a retail storefront on Driggs Avenue that stocks candles, cashmere throws, bath products, and some very nice ceramic vessels made by local women. “We’ve had people come in thinking we were a spa to me that’s a win,” said Erica Hill, the co-owner of Sparrow, a business that opened last November in Greenpoint.
