How Turning Leaf Home Funerals Can Help

People who leave detailed instructions concerning their funeral or memorial wishes leave an inestimable gift. Thoughtful planning gives the family the confidence to work together to create a unique memorial, and to begin the work of settling the estate. We can help prepare end-of-life directives and later support the family in following through on those plans. When there are no specific plans in place, we can provide guidance to family and friends, including price comparisons and general funeral consumer information.

Planning consultations include:
  • completing an advance directive for health care
  • free notarization
  • completing additional written personal wishes

Funeral consultations with the family include:
  • providing checklists for the family to complete
  • providing referrals for goods and services

  • addressing questions and concerns

Partial and full home funeral advice in:
• bathing, dressing and preparing the body
• filing all paperwork and obtaining appropriate permits
• coordinating with the funeral home if one is involved
• coordinating with the hospital, hospice, nursing facility, crematory, cemetery
• coordinating transportation of the body
• procuring the chosen disposition vessel
• direction to any necessary offices or businesses

• other needs determined by the family in charge

Turning Leaf Home Funerals' first interest is in helping families conceive of and accomplish their own arrangements and plans.
