#181 Home Funerals: What You Need to Know – Tawnya Musser, Life-Cycle Celebrant, Death Doula & Founder of Dear Departures


Listen Later

In this information-filled episode, Tawnya Musser and I explore the power and possibilities of home funerals. What exactly is a “home funeral”? How does it differ from one managed by a funeral home or institution? What might a home funeral look like, and how can family and friends take part in meaningful ways? Most importantly, how does it expand your options when you better understand this legal choice? In this conversation, we dive into what’s possible, what’s typical, and what’s realistic when it comes to home funerals. Learn how a personal approach of caring for and spending time with your dead can create space for community and connection. As Tawnya explains, “People often tell me, ‘I wish I had known this was an option.’ Not everyone will choose a home funeral, but everyone should know they have the choice.”
