Do you know if your person dies at home, you do not need to rush to send them into the care of a funeral director? Did you know you can keep them at home with you for a few hours or even days if you wish? Now this idea certainly won’t be for everyone, but it will be absolutely right for a few.


I shared a post on Facebook about exactly this recently that got A LOT of attention, with some interesting perspectives and quite a lot of criticism (if your interested do have a nosey, it caused quite the stir!) so I wanted to talk about it openly here too. There are many factors to consider of course, but my main point is that people need to know this is an option, and legal. You do still have choices even after someone has died and can spend more time with them if that is right for you.
