From "A Family Undertaking," a PBS documentary.
"Preparing a body for burial is a ritual that is both ageless and tribal. Here’s what it’s like."

The idea of restoring this ancient practice to our modern Western lives is not for everyone. If it interests you, read "Inside a Home Funeral" published by the Daily Beast, and tell me what you think.
