I had not heard of it before but it can definitely be a useful service for many. Thanks so much for the link about <strong>funeral services at home</strong>. That can also be a great idea, especially for our aging parents, as long as the remaining spouse or kids can handle it. The only issue I can see with it is that some people might have a hard time later as they deal with memories of the funeral service. But if the service is truly uplifting and encouraging, it might actually help with some of the memories of the preceding illness. Hi Mary, I’m with you.

I can't find the original article that I read, but some people are doing funerals at home again like they used to.
