    Bringing Death Home: The Healing Power of Home Funerals

    In this episode Glenda Villegas, my friend and owner and funeral director of Thresholds~specializing in at home and family-directed funerals, explains how families can care for loved ones during their time of death. We talk a lot about education and information regarding end of life options and how to connect with death, funerals with sovereignty. This could be at home end of life care or viewings, work with hospice, how to handle legal permits and preserve the body respectfully. Glenda shares practical tips (dry ice, transportation, timelines) and honors rituals that help grieving relatives and pets say goodbye. The conversation also covers green alternatives like aquamation and terramation, pre-planning advice, and why home funerals can create a calmer, more meaningful transition for both the deceased and their family.   I am so grateful for Glenda, her wisdom and compassion for this very important work and initiation into a greater understanding of our humanity.  You can reach out to her at http://Thresholdsfamilydirectedfunerals.com and follow her on IG @thresholdshf and @sacredyogi2022
