Home Funeral Resources

The resources available for home funerals are increasing with acceptance and increasingly available through the Internet. They are also sometimes called "do-it-yourself funerals".

• Home Funeral Directory lists home funeral guides for most states.
• Funeral Consumer Alliance exists to help people execute affordable and personal funerals, whether a traditional funeral or a home funeral. It has affiliates in most states who may be able to assist with home funerals.
• Local and state health departments will know about death care regulations and documentation. If possible, speak to someone in person to get the best attention.
• Organizations that offer death midwife services can provide guidance and help.
