We are happy to announce that Merilynne Rush, who was the main speaker at our Green Burial/Home Funeral community forum last summer, has agreed to provide a local, introductory home funeral workshop for KGBA associates and other interested community members. This event will be a small, hands-on practicum and there are four slots still available on a first-come basis.
The workshop will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2016, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include a potluck lunch (location to be communicated to confirmed participants the week before). The cost is $50 per person, with reduced rates available for those with tight budgets. If you are interested, please contact us at[email protected] to reserve one or more slots and/or request any further information you may need. This introductory workshop will include hands-on instruction in caring for a deceased person at home as well as in-depth discussion of Merilynne’s experiences, legal considerations, funeral director relations, participant concerns, and other factors affecting home funeral practices. We have also invited two local funeral directors (who have expressed support for home funerals) to join the group for lunch and discussion, and thus far at least one of them is planning to attend. For more information on home funerals and Merilynne Rush (including a much more comprehensive workshop she will be offering in Ann Arbor in November), please visit her website at http://afterdeathhomecare.com/. For further questions pertaining to this local workshop, please contact us at[email protected]. Sincerely, The Keweenaw Green Burial Association
