Sermon Summary
A home funeral vigil supports the spirit of community among the deceased’s
family and friends and leaves indelible connections between generations. A home
funeral vigil opens the door to the option of a green burial which is an
environmentally sustainable approach to burial. Green burial reduces the carbon
emissions, waste, and the use of toxic chemicals in the cemetery and funeral fields.
