I really dislike the idea of embalming. Heather, for me it would be more about not using all those chemicals. I really dislike the idea of embalming.

It's about ceremony and creating a meaningful experience for the survivors to heal and the deceased to be remembered well.

I went to the green burial conference and heard Mark Harris speak. He was great! He's put together a very accessible slide show that makes you think, "Why would you do it any other way." I also have a list of the 8 women in the country that help with home funerals and there is a video or two showing how incredible the home funeral actually is. I hope that people will go back to these methods because they have more heart and healing. Hello,

I got up early for this! That aside, I know how much we all appreciated knowing exactly what my dad wanted years before he died, both in terms of "living will" type stuff as well as "don't put yourself through all that wake stuff". So while we had to make the actual arrangements, we didn't have any significant decisions to make at a time when we really didn't feel like fussing over details. I guess we should now give some thought ot what we might want... I caught that show in Bravo reruns a year or two ago – 4 episodes in 5 hours, starting at 8:30am on a Saturday.
