Can families care for their own dead?

We’ll go through green burial, water cremation, and natural organic reduction. So family-directed death care, you’ve probably heard described as home vigils or home funerals, but I tend to think of it much more holistically and broadly. But for several years, I was on the board of the Home Funeral Alliance, whose mission is to educate and inform and invite people into caring for their own dead. It’s legal to care for your own dead in all 50 states, with obviously some parameters on that. But one of the things that we did while I was on the board that I’m really proud of is that we have this pay what you will or free if need be, online downloadable home funeral guidebook that walks you through every step of the way, to prepare you for being able to care for your person in very simple, plain language.
