Home Funeral Guidance

The Center for End of Life Transitions offers Death Care Midwife assistance to individuals in our community as an act of generosity and loving kindness. If you would like to care for your loved one at home but lack the experience to do this on your own, one of our volunteers is happy to assist and guide you and your community of loved ones through the process of a home funeral.

If you wish to have more information or would like assistance during your loved one’s end of life, please call us at 828-318-9077.

Support Community Home Funerals

The work we do to assist families in caring for their loved ones and preparing for their home funerals is done completely by volunteers. We offer this service as an act of love and charity.  Funding for our services, workshops, and programs comes solely from workshop fees and contributions. Please consider supporting our project to help us provide this service to our community.

Testimonials

  • Yesterday, Jane’s body lay in state at Ruth’s house. No more Roman Senator. Jane looked like a Buddha. Intensity of focus suggested she was learning to walk or fly or swim the channels of light, while the vigil of the living continued around her.

  • What we did was the difference, for my family, in incurring debt and remaining solvent, and in saying an intimate goodbye in a language we all understood, as opposed to saying goodbye in the mortuary chapel of kindly paid professionals.
