North Carolina Home Funeral Group Seeks Others



La Grange, N.C.--Cindy Freeman reports from her hometown -- situated between Goldsboro and Kinston, east of Raleigh -- that she is interested in gauging interest in using "Undertaken With Love" to explore home funerals. La Grange has been served by a single family-based funeral home for more than 100 years. A family graveyard was created on the family homestead there in the late 1800s but has since become overgrown with trees. For her, a home funeral would simply be an extension of her involvement over the years with home birthing, home schooling and home worship.

"The funny thing is, I am not doing things that have never been done before, just going back to the way things used to be done that many are not doing now," she observes in sensing that she is regarded by some as a maverick. Yet her friends are showing an interest in home funerals. She doesn't want to make her email address public on this blog, but you can email me if you want to be in touch with Cindy, and I'll pass your email address on to her.

Thanks, Cindy, for writing. I hope it will lead others to send us posts to seek others interested in forming a small group to use "Undertaken With Love."
