Four After-Death Care Myths Everyone Should Know

The industrialization of death has led to the removal of the communal, spiritual, and healing aspects of the death experience for both the dying and those left behind. This has caused the death industry to become a booming business, with the cost of a funeral in Canada ranging from $3000 to $20,000 ($8,500 on average). However, there are an increasing number of natural and holistic methods to experience the dying process and what comes afterwards, such as living funerals, at-home wakes and funerals, and truly "green" methods of burial and cremation.
