FULL CIRCLE of LIVING and DYING:
Bringing back the beautiful tradition of home death care
in your private home setting. This is totally legal in California.
Home death care is unique for each person, family or those caring for a dying loved one. It involves care at a level that feels right for each individual group - family, friends, caregivers and others in the community. The dying process may occur in a care facility, hospital or home. Over 75% of people surveyed say they want to spend their dying days at home. Only 25% of those people actually do die at home surrounded by loved ones.
Taking back the old tradition of home death care may mean you are the caregiver for your person in your home. With a terminal diagnosis, hospice may help with comfort care which is covered by Medicare. Private caregivers may be brought in to help when care becomes overwhelming. Advance-planning for dying wishes should be documented and shared with loved ones. This allows everyone involved in end-of-life and after death care to know the wishes of the dying person. For the dying individual, this may be a time for grief guidance, creating a legacy project, writing your own obituary, and planning your own memorial service. End-of-life doulas can help with these plans.
The work of Full Circle of Living and Dying includes education and guidance. We support you in the care
of a dying loved one. We empower you to perform after death care so your loved one may lie in honor (home wake/vigil) for one to three days. We offer education in seeking options for burial or cremation and with transportation and paperwork. We offer guidance in creating sacred space in the room for the dying person; options in ceremonial washing, anointing, dressing and readying of the deceased body to lie in honor in the home. We offer ideas in use of ice packs, cardboard casket design, and organizing vigil.This open discussion may inspire you to create a legacy project and personalized memorial service.
Importance of Home death care: Allows time for family, friends and community to gather and process grief in a loving setting, honoring the death process in your own comfortable environment. You may create a unique personalized in-home funeral ceremony using your creativity, religious traditions, and spiritual rituals or honor a loved one's special requests.
PRE-PLANNING IS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN. CALL FOR FREE PHONE CONSULTATION
We also offer in-home End-of-Life care consultations. Let's have step-by-step discussion with your family or agent about what you want for your own after-death care, or care of a loved one. (916)397-5443
