    Description: HOME FUNERAL WORKSHOP

    Home funerals are a loving way to say goodbye. A home funeral allows more time for closure; family and friends can gather for two or more days to prepare, memorialize, celebrate, grieve, and finally, transport the body. Let’s take it back to our roots and learn to give our loved ones a home funeral.
