We know, this isn't your typical Saturday night activity! Crafting a meaningful end-of-life experience is something that family and friends can participate in, and having a home funeral is one way to honor a life well lived. Community death care should be accessible to all, it's the way we used to care for our dead before the modern funeral industry became the standard.
