Home Funerals For Death Doulas

The NHFA board held an in depth conversation about how Home Funeral Education and Advocacy meets the heart work of the Death Doula. We discussed how the legal landscape shifts once death occurs, the role we play as community advocates and how we leverage our passion and ease in conversations about death to gently effect change in the ways the dominant culture relates to ideas and options at end of life.You can still support the NHFA and get access to the recording

NHFA Podcast: A Path Home

​On this podcast we’ll be focusing on reclaiming our innate right to care for our own loved ones at death in natural, and often, environmentally friendly ways. We’ll demystify the tasks related to after death care through hearing stories from people who have ventured into culturally unfamiliar territory and cared for their own deceased loved ones at home, chose a natural burial or both.
