Assisting families in providing compassionate and affordable at-home after-death care

Too soon the rays of twilight
will break through
robbing us of physicality,
leaving us spirits in the wood.

— Jane Babin, “Sipping Vodka” from Pearls in the Pond

Turning Leaf Home Funerals is a New Hampshire-based consulting service created to assist families in preparing end of life wishes and to provide the tools and support to empower families and friends in caring for their loved ones after death in an eco-friendly, family-centered, and financially sensitive way.

Choosing at-home after-death care enables family and friends to be part of the natural process of ending the life cycle, often resulting in a sense of purpose and meaning for all. Participating in the many acts of caring needed in a family-directed funeral creates the opportunity for healing and acceptance.

A home funeral consultant is trained to help families relearn the steps of at-home funerals while meeting today's requirements, such as filing death certificates, obtaining permits, arranging transportation, as well as coping with myriad details from childcare to airport shuttles to creating personalized and meaningful home funeral services.
