Caring for Our Dead: Making Home Funeral Information Easy to Find
"Did you know that in Oregon and Washington, like most states, one is not required to purchase the services of a funeral director or funeral home? Many people don’t know about the rights of families to care for their own dead – what’s often called a “home funeral”.
This workshop shares a bereaved mother’s story of what happened when the deputy medical examiner, hospital chaplain, and funeral director didn’t know the law after her son’s death. The website she later created with other home funeral advocates is changing professional practice to prevent what happened to her family from happening to others."
