Caring for Our Own – May Workshop
We have a great opportunity to learn about family-led home funerals and natural burial from Beth Knox, founder of Crossings: Caring for Our Own at Death. She will be coming to Arizona for a workshop in Prescott, focusing upon:
• How a home vigil can bring meaning, dignity, and healing at the time of a loved one’s passing
• Legal rights and responsibilities at the time of death
• How to wash, prepare, and “lay out” the body for up to a 3-day vigil at home
• How to work with a funeral director to get only the services you need
• How to transport the body to a gravesite or crematorium
• “Green” burial options
• Integrating home funeral care with your religious or spiritual beliefs
Here is a short video that introduces you to Beth and tells one couple’s story about a home funeral experience:

You can download the workshop registration form from the Crossings site and send your information to the coordinator as listed.
Let me know if you are interested as I will be attending and would like to organize a carpool. Thanks!
