The Mission of Final Footprint
Final Footprint is dedicated to providing education and support to families who wish to care for their own at the time of death.

Many myths exist regarding necessary final arrangements when a loved one dies. Examples include:
• it is perfectly legal to take care of your loved one in their home or yours;
• embalming is not required;
• you are permitted by law to provide transport from hospital, hospice, or other facility to your home, a cemetery, or a crematorium.

As accommodating as many commercial funeral home directors can be, they are strangers who enter your life at a critical time. They are no substitute for the care of loving family members. As home funerals become increasingly understood, families have come to recognize how important and cathartic it becomes to trust intimate and personal details to compassionate family members. Final Footprint can offer advice to assist with the at-home funeral process, should you, or, by prior agreement your deceased loved one, choose an arrangement of this kind.

Eco-friendly, green burial products is our specialty. Final Footprint has been offering biodegradable urns and coffins for a decade, and are delighted by current trends in the industry.
