Home Funeral Workshop
ceremony + ritual
when
Friday, October 18th
from 3 - 5 pm
about
We want to demystify death and create a loving, tender environment for all to understand it a little more. We’re excited to invite Hestia Advantage into our home to give a little more insight to what a home funeral might look like for you and your loved ones. Our whole purpose with Funk It has been to invite more education where we might feel a little scared to wander. Shedding light into the crevices that make us feel a little uncomfortable while providing a cozy space to hold us in safety.
what to expect:
Expect to learn about MT laws for Home Funerals and burials on your own land. How to safely transport body. Also expect to learn how to anoint and bathe a body, shroud a body, clean a body, offer blessings or ceremonies around death.
what people will walk away with:
People will walk away with enough information to have their own home funeral in every way:
logistically, legally, and ceremonially
how to come and interact with the alter:
Come prepared to leave notes and any items of a loved one that you don’t want back. We will be ceremonially burning all items left at the altar once it’s taken down on November 3rd.
additional notes:
Bring a notebook and something to take notes with and anything for the alter you want to leave.
Hestia Advantage will bring art supplies to the workshop for anyone to use to create a memory to add to the alter.
Thanks for showing interest in this beautiful workshop! Whether you’re interested for interest’s’ sake, or looking for other options, we want all to feel safe and supported around death itself.
And if you have any additional questions, please feel reach out.
