You've heard of home birth? It's time to rediscover home death.
Home Funeral Guide 101 reconnects us with the age-old practice of caring for our loved ones at home. Safe, legal, meaningful, and deeply personal, home funerals are a powerful way to honor the dead within the comfort of our homes. In this introductory 2-hour course, you'll learn about the essential laws and logistics, discover necessary care supplies and resources, explore home ceremonies, and reaffirm the innate knowledge that caring for our dead is a natural, communal act deeply embedded in our heritage.
We'll explore all aspects of conducting a home funeral, from understanding the legal frameworks that make it a viable option to practical steps for care that you can do yourself. You'll gain insight into the supplies and steps needed to care for the deceased at home, as well as the ceremonial insights that help you create space for healthy mourning. This course taps into the communal and intuitive practices of our ancestors, reminding us that this work is in our bones.
Whether you're exploring how to care for your own loved ones, seeking to expand your services, or simply curious about more personable, dignified end-of-life care options, Home Funeral Guide 101 is designed to provide you with the knowledge and confidence to handle home funerals with care and respect, so that we can bring the sacred act of deathcare back into the family and community, where it truly belongs.
Just a quick thank you for all that you are exposing me to. After each evening session I feel alive, my heart more full of excitement than at any other time during the day. The diverse perspectives, the new vocabulary, the inside look that is so hard to find on my own...it is all making me a stronger and more informed advocate for the people that I care for.
