Peaceful Passage At Home :: Why Consider a Home Funeral?

Why Consider a Home Funeral?

Imagine…

Someone you love has just breathed their last breath…

You sit quietly and enter the silence with them. A candle is lit, time expands and disappears. The hush in the air is palpable. Yes it is very sad, but also so beautiful. Peace permeates everything. After some time you rise, knowing that you are not alone in this process. Together you wash and dress this person with care and tenderness. Friends and family come and share stories and quiet reflection. For a few hours or days, in the privacy of your home, the sanctity of this moment is honored.

“Anyone who stays away from death because of distress will turn out to have missed the one experience of a lifetime which can make known the true heights of love.” — Evelyn Francis Capel
