The Do-It-Yourself Funeral Book
By Leah Munro, Co-ordinator of the Bellingen Shire Bereavement
Service (North Coast NSW Australia)
This book has been written as a guideline for doing a
funeral either with or without a funeral director.
Also you need to be aware it has been especially written for
the residents of the Bellingen Shire. If you are using it in
another state or shire you must check with the local council,
hospital, and any other relevant official department as may
be differences in regulations.
Introduction
Fearless Funerals
"The death of someone you love will bring you face to face
with their death and your own. This booklet is about facing
death, of not turning away and closing off, but becoming familiar
with death. We only fear what we don't know. When we are able
to allow our fears to go, the realisation of how precious our
time here is can finally emerge.
