They view the body at the families' homes. Friends and family call at the home and then they bury them in a homemade casket. I think it is more personal and intimate. My family also has some Indian heritage and my uncle has permission from the state of New Mexico to have an Indian burial. I think it is wonderful and I love the fact that my family has such a strong cultural background. Thanks for your article. I have family in Mexico and they don’t use funeral homes very often.

The first is to look into finding someone with carpenter skills to help me (I'm all thumbs), design and then agree on the cost of a simple coffin. The second is to consider subscribing to the Smithsonian Magazine. If they have this kind of wonderful articles, Ineed to get it regularly.
