MONEY CAN'T BUY ME LOVE.
It's true, money doesn't buy love in life, nor should it in death. Do you want all the bells and whistles or is a simple, intimate gathering more your style? Did you know that with a bit of planning, you can even organise a do-it-yourself funeral? In Australia it has always been legal to handle these things ourselves.
It wasn't even a century ago, that we were taking a more active role in the funeral process. We were dying at home, often with our family around us. Nowadays we're led to believe that we need to call a funeral director immediately to take our loved one away. It's simply not the case. You have time.
Maybe you'd like to remain at home after death so that loved ones can says their goodbyes in a comfortable environment, decorate a cardboard casket with drawings or handprints, to go in the back of your classic HJ ute... or whatever it is that will make your funeral mean something to the people that love you.
As a member of the Australian Home Funeral Alliance, it is our aim to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your own funeral and of those that you love. Be sure to read our story and the other articles in our blog for insights into the possibilities available to you.
