SUMMARY:Green Burials\, Home Funerals and Much More
DESCRIPTION:Do you know about “alkaline hydrolysis”?  What are the r
 ules about scattering ashes?  Can you be buried on your own land?  Which
  is greener\, burial or cremation?  Sign up for this class and we’ll a
 nswer ALL your questions and introduce you to options you didn’t know 
 you had.   Do your survivors a favor and sign up for this class.  Take a
  look at www.lastthings.net to see what you’ll learn.\n\nAbout Chuck L
 akin\n\nI’m a retired librarian\, a woodworker\, and a home funeral ed
 ucator. 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. Whe
 n I learned what I could have done\, I started discussing home funerals\
 , not trying to convince anyone\, but to provide those interested with t
 he information they would need to have the experience I wanted. Eventual
 ly\, I wrote this website\, and I continue to share what I have learned 
 about funerals in general and home funerals in particular with anyone wi
 lling to listen. As a woodworker\, I\, of course\, make coffins (there a
 re several free plans available on the Coffins page)\, and I actively as
 sist anyone who wants to create a green cemetery. With my librarian back
 ground\, it's no wonder that I love answering questions: I'm very good o
 n 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 que
 stions.
