Old Traditions, New Ways: Bringing After-Death Care Back Home

Death is a normal and natural family experience, a transition we all face.  In the past families and the community took care of all the arrangements. A home funeral is a dignified and loving alternative to current funeral practices. It allows the family to have more control, with meaningful involvement in caring for their own.

Basic, hands-on skills will be covered in this 3 hour workshop to give one the confidence and courage to create a meaningful experience when death occurs.
