Home funerals: Tending to their own

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.

Haha ,,that is a beautiful answer ,,

to each their own i say ... but i personally would not do something like this.

If this is what you want, by all means do it.
Wouldn't work for me. I'm vain enough that I'll want to look my post-mortem best, and I don't trust amateurs to make it happen.

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.

Home Funerals are very popular in Mexico, Central and South America...Most people in the spanish community cant afford funeral homes...

is anyone else just a tad bit uncomfortable by this?

Why? Hospital births and funeral homes are a phenomenon of the 20th century. Prior to that we tended to our own and held showings in the parlour.
I don't find this uncomfortable at all.
