I have been doing research on home funerals. You take care of your departed loved ones at home yourself. There are websites that even have videos explaining how to take care of everything from getting permits (if necessary), washing the body, plugging "holes" so that the body won't leak and setting up a viewing. The home funerals I watched used a home made wooden casket that was then decorated by the loved ones.
Actually, the whole process was done with so much love - and it gave the family a purpose and help in the grieving process. |
