Home Funerals are Magic

The Benefits of a Home Funeral

Long before death was placed behind closed doors, care for the dead was intimate, personal, and held within the home. A home funeral is a return to this way—a quiet, sacred tending that allows families to grieve in their own time and space.

Unlike the fast-paced structure of modern funeral homes, a home funeral offers slowness, presence, and choice. Loved ones can wash and dress the body, sit in vigil, speak prayers, share stories. The process is deeply humanizing, reminding us that death is not something to be hidden away but an extension of love, an act of care that continues beyond breath.
