Home Funeral
After-Death Care & Home Funeral Support
A home funeral is a personal, family-centered celebration planned and carried out by family and friends. Caring for the body of a loved one is safe and possible. Home funerals are a beautiful, meaningful, cost-effective option to help us say goodbye.
Home Funeral Education Package
$250
Until the late 1800s, "home funerals" were simply called funerals. When a loved one died, families washed and dressed them, combed their hair and laid them out. While neighbors built the casket or wound the shroud, others dug the grave, made a meal, or sat with the body to say their goodbyes. Many families are choosing to return to the simple, hands-on, personal practices of Home Funerals.
Education
Included
- The state and local laws and regulations surrounding home funeral.
- After-death care: proper bathing and cooling techniques.
- Supplies list. A customizable list of everything you will need to confidently care for your loved one.
In the Moment Guidance (Virtual or In-Person)
Included
- Care set-up: table, basins, rags, etc..
- Emotional support during after-death care so you can confidently care for your loved one.
Funeral Home Coordination
Many families choose to blend home funeral elements with the services of a local funeral home. This allows families to personally care for their loved ones in a familiar setting but offers the convenience of hiring the services of a funeral home for tasks such as paperwork, transportation and disposition.
After-death Care Educators are not Funeral Directors and we do not care for the dead or plan funerals. Rather, we serve as guides. We provide education and support to those who wish to care for their own.
