“Is that even legal?” That was my first thought.
In this interview, Dennis Shuman tells us how to care for our own dead at home. As a volunteer with the organization, Final Friends, he gives workshops on the history and legal details of home funeral.
You might be wondering what home funeral has to do with living the present moment. As a society we tiptoe around death, you cannot be present to life without also being present to death.
“Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals. ”
~ Sir William Gladstone
