Up until around 80 years ago, the traditional way for a Stanthorpe funeral was that we have cared for the dead at home and in the company of family. So many of us do not know that in Australia, it has always been legal to handle this care of your loved ones from time of death to final disposition, whether that is burial or cremation.
This natural part of life, the act of death and dying has been hidden from us. At Rest, we're trying to assist people to learn what is possible, and to help them do things their way.
