Michael’s Earth Funeral: A Loving Daughter’s Wish

I’m his daughter first and foremost.

I was also his caregiver. It hurts like no pain I’ve ever experienced. My father Michael has passed away. With time, I’ve decided what I believe he would love the most. He would be completely at rest. I will have comfort and stillness in my being. It’s not typical. It’s not common. For some, it will be surprising. It will be an Earth Funeral. ❤️ His body will be taken care of, put in a piece of earth, and he will return as earth. It’s called composting. I’m sure many understand that terminology. All are welcome to have a part of him.

As of now, the funeral home cost is outrageous, and he’s just sitting in a “human hotel.” For his burial, I’m looking at transporting him myself if I can’t find another way (CA laws). It’s insane how they treat our loved ones as property as soon as they have them in their grips. I hope during this journey that I can raise awareness of the fact that there are other options.

As hard as it is to ask for help, I need it. He doesn’t deserve to sit and wait. I don’t deserve to be another notch in a funeral home’s belt. I will fight with all of my might to make this happen. I need your help. Together we can do this!!!! My dad loves you all. Listen, feel, and love with all of your being. I thank you for all of your love. ❤️
