On this episode, NHFA President, Dani LaVoire talks with her family about the home funeral they all created for her grandmother, Sherryl Schwartz Morantz in New York State. New York is one of the states with laws limiting family's rights to having full independence in carrying out a funeral for a loved one. Holding a home funeral is still legal in New York, but a licensed funeral director must be hired to supervise the process. Visit the website of the NHFA for more information, or go to funeralethics.org for a comprehensive state by state list of funeral regulations.
