HOME, AND IN THE PARLOR, FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Fitting Tribute helped a family create an old fashioned home funeral in Queens December 2017. The deceased man we were honoring died in a Nassau County hospital and was brought back home, bathed, anointed with essential oils and dressed in a military uniform. By next morning, friends descended to comfort the family, bringing sandwiches, salads, and cakes. We kept soft music going, candles lit in the evening, and accompanied the family on the drive to Green-Wood.
