What Does A DIY Funeral Entail?
At Tiare, we understand that not everyone wants their funeral to be planned or carried out by a funeral home.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be. DIY Funerals can provide a deeply personal and meaningful experience.
The biggest consideration for those planning a DIY funeral is whether you will be emotionally ready to plan and carry out a funeral at a time of immense grief.
If the answer is yes, then read on.
The following steps will need to be taken when arranging a DIY funeral:
Transfer of your loved one’s body from their place of death to their place of rest
Storage of your loved one’s body in the period before the funeral
Preparation, washing and dressing of your loved one
The use of cold plates to keep your loved one’s body cool
Choose clothing for your loved one to wear
Choose and purchase coffins, shrouds or urns
Arrange the death or coroner’s certificate and complete cremation or burial applications
Book the burial or cremation
Arrange the memorial, flowers, celebrant, speaker, order of service, etc.
