Shari Wolf is an advocate for offering an environmental approach towards funeral service. She founded Natural Grace in Southern California in 2010 to provide a natural approach to the funeral business that is intended to raise the end of life standards for us all.
Shari founded the Bigtree Child Fund in 2018 from the initial donation of the Orion Bigtree family to Natural Grace out of their appreciation.
With that donation, she decided to create a special way to care for families based on her belief that the loss of a child is unlike any other. She feels it is important to remove the financial stress of funeral expenses for families experiencing the loss of a young child.
