Programs that provide assistance for people who want to plan a family-directed home funeral for themselves or a loved one. A home funeral can encompass a memorial service, wake or viewing, or a combination of the three. Friends or family members might help wash and dress the body, build or decorate a casket, plan a memorial service and/or accompany the deceased to the burial site or crematory. Services may include information about legal rights and requirements within the jurisdiction, help with necessary paperwork, assistance with the transport and care of the body for a home ritual or wake and other forms of support. Home funerals are legal in 43 states.
