The NHFA is taking an organizational pause.

We Have New Merch!

In an effort to make our offerings accessible to all people, we are moving away from pay-to-access content. You can support us in our mission by buying some cool swag from our Bonfire store featuring artist Amanda King. 

Bonfire is a platform that produces on-demand goods on ethically sourced clothing, bags, and other goods with art selected by the organization. Using Bonfire allows nonprofits like ours to create meaningfully messaged merchandise at price points that are fair to the consumer. 

Pandemic Resources for Families Facing End Of Life

We hope these resources are helpful to those of you caring for the dying, the dead or those struggling with grief.

"Home funerals empower families and friends to begin the beautiful journey of mending the tear in the fabric of their community that is caused when someone they love dies."

NHFA Podcast: A Path Home

​Our podcast demystifies the tasks related to after-death care through stories from people who have cared for their own deceased loved ones at home, chosen a natural burial, or both. Hearing what’s possible and how lives have been transformed by engaging in this final act of love is one path towards changing our culture and our relationship to death. A Path Home is a production of the National Home Funeral Alliance.
