April 15, 2015:  We had the rare privilege of being witness to a soul at the end of life in the physical body. Five of us were brought together by divine order at just the right moment. Family and friends were guided to care for a beloved husband at home after death. The sacred energy that fills a room when washing, dressing and preparing a loved one to lie in honor in his own home is indefinable. Hearts were filled with joy and sorrow and peace- appreciating a life well lived and a death done well.

DECEMBER 13, 2015

Our End of Life Care Specialist Amanda Kenney helped Betty Westman
create a loving, personal home funeral for her husband.

Betty honored her husband with loving care of his body, and kept
him at home lying in honor for 24 hours. She created an altar
and shared memories with friends and family in her own 
private setting. 

Full Circle of Living and Dying is an educational consulting group and is in no way considered a funeral establishment. All  contributions received by Full Circle of Living and Dying are for requested consulting services and  private or public education.
