Pollen

Pollen is a death education and care service founded by Michaelene Dowers, offering support to individuals, families, and funeral professionals. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience as a funeral director in multiple U.S. states, Dowers provides specialized consulting informed by differences in funeral service laws and protocols. For families, this includes guidance on discussing grief with children and loved ones. For death care professionals, Pollen offers consultations on industry and region-specific topics.

The brand also provides death care education through presentations on request, on-demand online classes, and tutoring in death and funeral care. Its assorted services include celebrancy, death registry completion for funeral homes, and curated grief literature for children. Through its Quietus Bee continuing education courses, Pollen also serves funeral service professionals. In addition, the company arranges custom scattering of cremated remains at selected locations in Scotland on available dates. Pollen brings together practical expertise, education, and bereavement resources to address needs that may not be covered through standard educational channels.
