The publisher of a new book called "When the Sun Goes Down: Planning the Funeral of Your Life" gave away a life-sizeed casket bookcase in a recent raffle promoting the book.
Numerous books have been written with standard forms to be filled out and specific instructions to be followed for planning your funeral. When the Sun Goes Down makes a giant leap of faith and suggests that you create your very own funeral service. Just as traditional wedding vows did not quite “say it all” at your wedding, nor did the traditional “hospital birth” suffice for your baby’s delivery, neither must you compromise this final celebration of your life with a customary funeral service. You are entitled to make this last celebration of your life entirely your own! The information in this book is meant to spark your imagination and assist you in this exciting and stimulating process!
Indiana Funeral Care can help you plan and pay for your funeral so that you get the celebration of life you desire and your family doesn't have to worry and wonder what you would have wanted. We offer low cost caskets, discounted funeral and creamtion services and most of all, peace of mind.

Interesting recent article in the Indy Star describing the growing interest in green burials. I'm not sure how many Indiana Funeral Homes have been asked about green burials. We have often been asked about cheap caskets and discount funerals, but I cannot remember any director at Indiana Funeral Care having been asked to perform a green burial.
Since there are no green cemeteries in Indiana, it would be quite a challenge. We could partially achieve a green burial by using a minimum casket and a Jewish Orthodox burial container, which has an opening in the bottom of the container. This would permit the un-embalmed remains of the deceased to be "returned to the earth" over time.
