Community-based After-death Care
The Lily House provides the option of community-based after-death care. This is a friends and family-centered response to death that reclaims our right to care for our dead, transforming a commercial transaction done by others to a sacred service performed by loved ones.

DIY coffin building and decorating
washing and dressing the body
home funerals
shrouding the body
body transportation
natural burials
direct cremation
personalized memorials and celebrations of life
