There were seven of us who participated in the Home Funeral workshop led by Merilynne Rush, an After Death Home Care Guide, who came to us from Ann Arbor. (Visit her website http://afterdeathhomecare.com/ ) The time we had together focused on a tradition with which most of us have very limited experience: caring for our loved ones’ bodies after they are deceased. The workshop was an opportunity for us to gain insight into how a home funeral can be a time of connection and healing, and how we might facilitate that for families. Here are some of the things we learned:
In particular we learned that death, as part of the life cycle, is not to be feared, but honored as a time of transition for the dying person, and for connection between them and the surviving loved ones.
