Home Funerals
You Can Do It
A home funeral allows families and communities to take an active, hands-on role in caring for a body after death.
Sometimes called “do-it-yourself” after-death care, this approach can include bathing and dressing the body, holding vigils at home, and managing burial or cremation without a traditional funeral home.
National Home Funeral Alliance
The National Home Funeral Alliance offers education, guidance, and encouragement for families who choose to care for their own dead. They also maintain a national directory of individuals and organizations that provide support services throughout the home funeral process.
