  • GUIDE FOR THOSE WISHING TO.....

          PREPARE FOR A NATURAL BURIAL

    1.)I __________________________ WANT A NATURAL/GREEN          (NAME AND DATE)               BURIAL. I PREFER TO BE      BURRIED IN A DESIGNATED GREEN BURIAL CEMETARY.
     

    2.) I HAVE GIVEN THESE DRIECTIONS TO MY                      UNDERTAKER _______________________________________              (ANY ARRANGMENTS PREVIOUSLY MADE WITH MY UNDERTAKER    CAN BE CHANGED)

     

    3.) FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE REVIEWED WITH ME, MY WISHES FOR A NATURAL BURIAL. THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO VISIT ME WHILE WE CAN STILL COMMUNICATE. (CAREGIVERS WILL KEEP THEM INFORMED)

     

    4.) AS MY DEATH APPROACHES PLEASE NOTIFY MY UNDERTAKER TO PREPARE MY GRAVESITE. (TO OPEN MY GRAVE - ESPECIALLY IF THE GROUND IS FROZEN)

    5.) A DOCTOR OR NURSE PRACTITIONER WILL PRONOUNCE ME DEAD. (NOTING THE TIME). A FAMILY MEMBER, FRIEND, OR NURSE WIL BATH MY BODY WITH A MILD DISINFECTING SOAP. (PREARRANGE WITH YOUR DOCTOR - IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY IMPLANTS REMOVED - IE. HEART PACER, HIP JOINT, AND IF YOU WISH TO DONATE SOME OF YOUR ORGANS. IF YOU WANT TO DONATE YOUR WHOLE BODY TO SCIENCE... THEY WILL HAVE YOUR BODY CREMATED AND YOUR ASHES WILL BE BURIED IN A REGULAR GRAVEYARD.)

    6.) ARRANGE WITH MY UNDERTAKER - FOR THE TIME OF TRANSFER AND BURIAL (TO WRITE UP THE LEGALITIES, DEATH CERTIFICATE, ANNOUNCEMENT AND/OR TO TRANSPORT MY BODY TO THE GRAVESITE, TO PURCHASE A BURIAL CONTAINER- CARDBOARD BOX, WIKER OR A WOODEN CASKET ALREADY MADE)

     

    7.) SPIRITUAL ARRANGMENTS ... CELEBRATION OF LIFE

    FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MAKE A VIDEO OF MY LIFE, TO HAVE A PRAYER SERVICE AND  HYMNS, TO SHARE STORIES OF OUR TIME TOGETHER AND TO BLESS ME AS I AM LAID TO REST IN EARTH'S LOVING ARMS. (I'LL HAVE THE RITUAL, MUSIC AVAILABLE.)

     

    THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

  • IF ANYONE NEEDS SUPPORT TO DO THIS SHARON COULD BE AVAILABLE TO VISIT WITH YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
