How do we have a funeral if the body isn’t embalmed?

Easy. Whether you are having a home funeral or using a funeral home service, the key is to keep the core body temperature cool. At home you will use dry ice, which you can buy at the grocery store, or Tech-ni Ice, which you can buy on-line. The funeral home will use refrigeration supplemented by dry ice if needed.

"To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."
