The Sunday Read: 'The Movement to Bring Death Closer'
“If death practices reveal a culture’s values,” writes Maggie Jones, the author of today’s Sunday Read, “we choose convenience, outsourcing, an aversion to knowing or seeing too much.”
Enter home-funeral guides, practitioners who believe families can benefit from tending to — and spending time with — the bodies of the deceased.
On today’s Sunday Read, listen to Ms. Jones’s story about the home-funeral movement and the changing nature of America’s funeral practices.
