Overview
More natural after-death care options are transforming the paradigm of the existing funeral industry, helping families and communities recover their instinctive capacity to care for a loved one after death and do so in creative, nourishing, and healing ways. In reclaiming these practices and creating new, innovative options, we are greening the gateway of death and returning home to ourselves, our bodies, and the earth.
Lucinda Herring reminds us of the sacredness of death itself and the gifts of partnering with nature when we die. Her compelling stories and guidance come from years of experience as a home funeral-green burial consultant and licensed funeral director dedicated to more natural and healing death practices. The book includes the author’s stories of caring for her own mother and father after death and contributions from other women writers who cared for their partners—including a story of one man consciously choosing Death with Dignity. With a section of photographs of home vigils and natural burials, Reimagining Death is a valuable resource in planning for all deaths in all circumstances (with a chapter on what to do when a death occurs outside of the home). Lucinda Herring provides the information you will need to create an advance after-death care directive—the next step beyond an advance directive or living will—especially if you want a home vigil or natural burial. Reimagining Death helps us contemplate our deaths with a greater lightness of being, knowing that we can care for the earth and those close to us when we die.
