Reverent Body Care®
Reverent Body Care® at The Natural Funeral sets us apart from traditional funeral services, emphasizing a natural and dignified approach to caring for the deceased. This service includes a gentle washing with natural, non-toxic products, anointing with pure essential oils, and dressing the deceased in a manner that honors their life and spirit. It is an act of respect, a blessing, and a compassionate farewell to the physical form.
At The Natural Funeral, we consciously avoid embalming, opting out of using carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde, to ensure a process that is as safe as it is serene. Reverent Body Care® can be seen not just as a cleansing ritual, but as a deeply meaningful, ancient ceremony that respects the journey of the soul and the letting go of the physical body.
We respect and honor all personal beliefs and practices, tailoring our services to provide a healing and significant experience, whether you identify with a specific religious tradition or none at all. Our skilled staff is ready to guide and support families who wish to be involved in the Reverent Body Care® process, offering a space for participation or handling the care respectfully on their own.
When called upon to perform Reverent Body Care®, our team approaches each individual with the utmost respect and care, as if they were a member of our own family. This dedication ensures that each person’s final journey is handled with reverence and love, reflecting our commitment to dignified, thoughtful care.
