Removing Barriers to Home Funerals in Minnesota

Minnesota is the only state in the U.S. that requires embalming for home vigils and visitations, but the Minnesota Threshold Network is working to change that and to remove other restrictions that impede the right of Minnesotans to care for their own dead until burial or cremation. If you live in Minnesota, you can help by contacting your legislator after reading about the issue on our website's Minnesota page.
