DIY Funerals & Burials: a Legal Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798900380018)

INSIDE THIS BOOK--Step-by-step legal issues (and practical process) after death:

• How to report a death
• How to determine right to custody of a body
• How to get a permit to transport a body
• A Texas case study (author's experience)
• Tips to research your local area
• Tips to prepare the body
• DIY Disposition Methods, and more

Until recently, families cared for their own dead. This book reminds us that we don't need to go out--or pay--to create a meaningful, final-farewell. Perhaps we only need to take back to ourselves the ancient rites of passage that we have so cavalierly given away over the last century. I encourage you to explore how you might restore this sacred privilege to your own family or community with the help of this important, timely book.
