About Chuck Lakin
I’m a retired librarian, a woodworker, and a home funeral educator. My father’s death was a very personal experience right up to his death; he was in his own bed with his wife and four kids touching him when he died. I wanted to be part of what would happen next, but had no idea of what I could do, so we called a funeral director, who whisked Dad away, and four days later, we got a box of ashes in the mail. When I learned what I could have done, I started discussing home funerals, not trying to convince anyone, but to provide those interested with the information they would need to have the experience I wanted. Eventually, I wrote this website, and I continue to share what I have learned about funerals in general and home funerals in particular with anyone willing to listen. As a woodworker, I, of course, make coffins (there are several free plans available on the Coffins page), and I actively assist anyone who wants to create a green cemetery. With my librarian background, it’s no wonder that I love answering questions: I’m very good on the details, and I know how to find any answer I don’t already know. Don’t be shy about contacting me – you can’t possibly ask too many questions.
