On the other hand, the Jewish tradition requires a speedy burial, preferably the same day, preceded by ritual purification. The presense of professional funeral team (with a funeral home) within the Jewish community is essential to make such an arrangement possible. When my father died here in NY, the funeral ceremony might not be as emotional as what I used to see in the old country. But what really mattered to me was that my father was taken care of in accordance with our ancient tradition.
When I was growing up in the former Soviet Union, the home funeral was a part of lifestyle and every once in a while you would see a funeral ceremony in front of an apartment building. The body would be carried out of the house in an open casket (with separated cover carried in front of it) and, with sounds of a brass orchestra, taken to a funeral bus parked a few hundred meters away. By how many such ceremonies you've seen per, say, year, you could estimate how many people died at your block.
i think it is buitiful if thats what u wanna do with your loved ones that die just because it is available doesn't meen people have to have a home funeral it just meens its there for people who want it
@DareKabe you are a sick cunt now i dont like that word but thats what u are why the fuck would you right hahaha ur wife died my friend died to fucken cancer and my friends baby died so if your laughting at his wife then your laughting at me so fuck you cunt i hope it happends to you then you will understand how he felt and how i am feeling and other people i'm over talking to you u make me sick.
@DareKabe -what in the hell is so funny about that? Would you want someone laughing at you if someone you loved died? What if when you died, people just laughed and didn't care? If they didn't give you and your family the kind of respect that all people deserve? And just like tigger4929, I'm sick talking to you.

I recently had a home funeral for a dear friend whom I took care of in his final days. Since he died in my home (with hospice care), it was rather natural to have his funeral there too. It was a beautiful, highly personalized event that could never have happened in a funeral home. The only problem was when a local funeral director found out about it and called to accuse me of having a dead body in my house. The entire thing including cremation was $800. (opposed to $6000 at a funeral home) I
All I know is I'd rather not be embalmed and all the other stuff that I know Funeral Homes do to a body. I just want someone I know to throw me in a box and bury me on my own land.
I work in a mortuary and i still understand this,3days? but i understand the thought behind bathing and caring for their own loved ones. But from an insiders prospective There are alot of things that can be risky for the people still alive.2 be blunt as possible, When a body dies, its immune system dies with it, so. . . even normal bacteria in the body starts to multiply and cause a huge risk to anyone not wearing protective gear, there can be even mistakes that make people deathly ill
@kellina84 There is a QUASI myth perpetuated by the funeral industry that embalming serves to protect public health .In 95% of cases that is not true . In fact if you ask the centers for disease control they will tell you that generally speaking it does no such thing ..In cases where embalming does protect the health of others .there is an eminent risk such as in the case of potential epidemics . As for 3 days .. Being a history buff i can tell you that for centuries it was quite normal.
@kellina84 You are welcome and I do understand. i encourage anyone to question, challenge do research ,The more informed we are the better we can live our own lives and in turn be of service to others ,,You are wise to want to hear all sides ..Thank you for being so polite .. too often people leave nasty replies ..its nice to get one from someone who knows the meaning of the word respect . So thank you Kellina ..... Andy ..NC USA
Tad bit uncomfortable...uh YEAH! This is my bread and butter!! I need the families to come to me and keep the death as sterile and pretty as possible! Most people are afraid of death and won't accept it as a natural part of the life process. We have become a detatched, disposable society and we find it easier to stick grandma in a nursing home and let the undertaker remove her and "take care of things;" All you have to do is show up at a certain time.
I live in Ireland (Co. Down), where the 'wake' usually always takes place at home. The funeral director take care of embalming and casketing the dead, and lay the casket in the family home, where friends, family and neighbbours call to pay their respect to the deceased day and night until the morning of the funeral. On the day of funeral the casket/coffin is closed at the home and removed to the church for funeral. This is a comforting and personally unique experience, which I wouldnt change!
I'm from New Zealand and alot of Maori people in my country have the deceased at home for a few days, they believe the spirit doesnt leave the body immediately, anyway apparantely they grieve so much better than the rest of us, perhaps becuse they talk around the body and sing etc, they get better closure...
I"m not sure i would do it,, BUT,, when you think about it, this is your loved one. What could be more of a final tribute that doing this yourself. Just because the spark of life has left, does not mean you should be afraid. I think this mans choice was very good for him, and probably for others as well.
funeral directors in our area. But what I can understand why she went there was because most resident's in the care home where my loved nan lived when the manager of the home recommends them to families ad they go with them they get nice pay packet for each funeral that has gone from that home. I would rather my family did everything tht my nan finally needed doing to have been done in a family home than just being on a cold slab somewhere. this guy above wld disprove because he would lose work
I wld love a home service like this in the uk as I think funeral directors do rush with embalming and all the hype with paperwork etc and charge over the odds to ether bury or cremate our loved ones I remember seeing my nan in the chapel of rest over a yr half ago they put far too much embalming fluid in as they made her look 20 younger than she was and I felt she was in a place where they seem to pretend to care about the diseased and how they looked I wish she ether went to the better con't
Years ago we were born at home, died at home, and were buried from home. Now we take these normal parts of life and isolate ourselves from it, allowing strangers to do for our loved ones what we ought to do ourselves.
The term "living room" came about after "parlor" and "death room" were made obsolete in 1910. This is because "funeral parlors" were becoming more numerous & providing funeral services for people (so they didn't have to use their own home for viewing the dead). It's just a bit of word / terminology history!
I think it's the best thing to be cared for by the loving hands of friends, and relatives. As for what could go wrong... get real... I would be dead already what could go wrong! I'm all for it.
I choose to become a funeral director on Long Island because of my compassionate nature . I am very interested in learning more about how to serve my community at their homes if requested.
@habloespanoza with the discusting costs that funreral homes force onto delicate and grieving families< I have asked that should I die, I would want a home funeral..but..keeping a body in the bed for 3 days?? After about 12 hours the body starts to smell bad and fluid ozzes out (sorry for that visual)so...EW. I want them to take me to the morgue, get me ready for the home funeral and then cremate me. I would HATE to think that my husband spent so much money on nothing.

Hey Mom! Dad is all purple now, and his guts are coming out of his mouth!! Oh yeah, his buttons are popping off coz he is ballooning and he looks like a Macy's float! Awe SHIT MAMA! fly's be all up in his nose, and his ass be F U N K Y !!!
This practice is nothing new. Funerals were always held at home in North America until about the 1920's. I attened two funerals at the same funeral home within the past yr and would GREATLY prefer an at home funeral. Modern funeral homes turn the situation into a cookie-cutter event ... where better to lay out someones mortal remains than in their own living room?
I think it's important to maybe have that option, depending on the situation. But, I don't think it's fair to say just because someone chooses to have it done the traditional way with a funeral director, that they are not involved. They can be as involved as they'd like to be, and the truth is, most people do not want to be completely involved.

I see both sides as I am employed by an undertaker arranging a funeral is a stressful event and some families welcome this event to be taken care of its not for everyone, although if someone came to us for advice we would give them all or as little help they require.
