Questions You've Wanted to Ask a Funeral Director But Didn't Know Whom to Ask

Just a note about something new coming to the Undertaken With Love site. We're in conversation with several licensed funeral directors in various parts of the nation who have a track record of being supportive of family-directed funerals or who serve primarily as home funeral guides but also are licensed as funeral directors. We're inviting them to serve as consultants to our site who can address questions related to home funerals that families would like to pose to a professional mortician.

Here are a few questions that come to my mind:

• How can a family go about finding a flexible funeral home to assist on a very limited scale in a home funeral?
• In terms of a home funeral, what are the realistic options following an autopsy?
• What are the appropriate precautions for a death involving "X" condition (e.g., MRSA infection)?

In the meantime, let's gather some questions to pose. If you have a question you've longed to ask a mortician, please email them to us!
