Judy Miller’s Not Ready for the Farm navigates our universal journey of aging — consciously, realistically, and with a great attitude. Through candid conversations with professionals, authors, and everyday people, Judy Miller and her sidekick, Jess Anderson, with humor and compassion, deep dive into the issues we confront as we grow older. No holds barred as we explore money, relationships, living life to the fullest, family dynamics, finding our purpose, third acts, retirement, health and health care, longevity, activities, travel, community, loneliness, quality of life and dying. Often painfully honest. Empowering and inspirational. With laughter and tears. How do we make every moment count? What’s your journey? What’s your plan?

This week – Judy and Jess sit down with Hunter Beattie of Endswell Funeral Home to explore how a moment of reflection sparked by Desmond Tutu led him to a complete rethinking of modern death care. Hunter shares the origin story behind Endswell and what it means to be a “modern” funeral home, grounded in sustainability, transparency, and more human-centered practices.
