After Death Home Care, is a consultation service for those who wish to care for their loved one in the home in the hours or days after death. Home visitation, or home funeral, allows flexibility and personal expression of grief in a relaxed and loving atmosphere before proceeding to burial or cremation. Family and friends from near and far can gather to visit, share stories, create a ceremony, and say their final good-byes while the body is present in a natural state.
Contrary to popular belief and common practice, embalming, cremation or burial is not required within 24, or even 48, hours of death under most circumstances. Generations ago all families cared for the deceased in the home and this is still the practice in many cultures throughout the world. With the proper care, it is safe, simple, and inexpensive. After Death Home Care provides information and services to assist you, whether a death is anticipated or sudden.
After Death Home Care is sensitive to Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American, Anthroposophic, and other traditions concerning death care and will work with you to observe your particular cultural practices in caring for your loved one.
