Home Funerals

greenfusefuneralbookSome families want to take total control of the funeral, making all the arrangements, transporting and caring for the body of the person who has died themselves, devising and holding a ceremony. We call this a ‘home funeral’. We recently visited people in the home funeral movement in California where it is a burgeoning movement. We support the idea of families taking control.

If you wish to do this, you may find our book, We Need To Talk About The Funeral, a useful resource. Click here for details.

And, of course, there is a lot of information on this website.

If you would like some advice about any aspect of a home funeral, we are happy to help and charge you an hourly rate for our time.

I found doing everything ourselves very therapeutic and uplifting. Thank you for your help. Go on encouraging green DIY burial!”

I felt that I was being personally cared for, looked after by a friend who gave importance to what I wanted and who empathised completely with my needs and wishes. I was so grateful for that. Jules Davis-King
