Arranging a Funeral
Almost all those who have tried it advocate looking after at least some aspects of the funeral of a friend or relative oneself, with the assistance of family and friends, rather than depending entirely on funeral directors.
Chapter 2 of the Centre's Natural Death Handbook advises on how to plan for your own funeral.
Chapter 4 aims to help you plan for and carry out a funeral yourself by arming you with all the essential information and contacts.
Chapters 5-8 offer advice and contacts should you wish to get help from the professionals.
The Natural Death Handbook may be ordered securely online or over the telephone between 10am and 2pm (Tel. 0871 288 2098).
