6. To Embalm or Not: a story of choosing the old fashioned way

DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not by a mortician or an expert in those sciences. This is the story of a family who stepped back in time and cared for their loved ones in their home after their deaths. More and more we hear about the possibility of not having our loved ones embalmed. Clearly, there are times that the circumstances of a death prevent us from having a choice in the matter. That is a given. On this episode you will hear the personal experience of choosing to not have loved ones’ embalmed and having an extended in-home vigil. Hopefully this episode may help to inform you on the topic from a personal perspective. For your reference— the movie spoken about in this piece is Zen and the Art of Dying. You can find it on iTunes. Please follow The Death Dialogues Project on Instagram, Facebook and our blog at www.deathdialogues.net. Please subscribe to this podcast! See you next time!
