D.I.Y. Death September 20, 2007

A discussion of at-home funerals, green burials, and other kinds of sustainable practices in Michigan with Wendy Lyons, vice president of Detroit's Funeral Consumers Information Society. Wendy educates about what involved in caring for our beloved dead and advocates for changes to Michigan law to allow more families to do so at home, a practice that was once universal and is still practiced by many cultures. What is possible? What is necessary? What is legal? Are green burials allowed in Michigan? Must bodies be embalmed? Join us and find out all this and more. Donation requested.
