      This in-depth workshop will offer community members the opportunity to explore their feelings about death care and offer detailed information about how to plan and carry out a home funeral and/or green burial.  Discussion and presentation includes:  Explanation of Michigan regulations and laws, current attitudes, roadblocks; discussion about how to find and work with a supportive funeral director; the essential elements of home funeral (Helping the Soul, Honoring the Body, Beginning the Mourning); and creating a community/family circle of support.

      Learn about the ancient art of caring for your own dead.  A home funeral can bring healing and comfort to friends and family, and is legal in all fifty states.  It is natural, inexpensive and quite simple.  Participants will learn the importance of planning ahead and how to care for the body of the deceased at home.  We will also discuss how to establish a family cemetery.  Local casket-maker Matt Hohlbein will have a display.
