Body Care
Ways to go naturally
We use natural methods for body care after death that have been used for centuries and largely forgotten.
It's a modern myth that embalming is essential, and that the funeral process must take place quickly.
We facilitate care of a loved one in the home or funeral home, believing that an involved approach allows for a more complete grief experience.
We offer —
- Essential oils for washing to control bacteria
- Anointing and massage with ancient recipes for preservation
- Frankincense and myrrh to scent the body
- Natural ways of cooling such as dry ice ... refrigeration is not used
- Care of family members in the family home or funeral home
- Facilitating family to take care of loved ones visiting daily
- Minimal use of make-up
We avoid embalming, though for some people embalming is essential.
