Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you provide both End-of-Life Doula Services and Michigan Funeral Representation Services? 

    • No. According to MCL 700.1104, a volunteer or employee who provided services during your final illness may not serve as a Funeral Representative.

  • I'd like to donate my body to science.  Can you provide information and resources during planning?

    • Yes! We would be honored to make accommodations that fulfill your requests as documented.​

  • I'd like to have a funeral while I'm living.  Can Farewell Rites accommodate this request?

    • Certainly, many people are now open to the concept of holding a "living funeral" to celebrate life on their own terms. We can help organize the event, which includes choosing traditional or non-traditional venues such as places of worship, funeral homes, community centers, banquet halls, public parks, pubs, bowling alleys, museums, zoos, sporting complexes, or even cruise ships.

  • Can you come to my funeral? I'm worried nobody will attend.

    • Yes.  We can also hire mourners to attend the services.  This is a common practice in China and Egypt. ​
