Over the past few years, the @AustralianHomeFuneralAlliance (AHFA) has hosted a series of powerful community presentations exploring themes such as after-death body care and preparation, legal rights and responsibilities, ritual, emotional support, and the quiet reclaiming of home-based funerals in contemporary Australia.
Join us for a shared viewing and reflection session, as we watch Dr Pia Interlandi’s presentation Creating Rituals of Dress and Death, drawn from the AHFA archive.
“Through her practice, Garments for the Grave, Pia designs rituals that honour the dead through the act of dressing. She co-creates garments with people who are dying, and supports families in dressing their loved ones after death. As an academic, she researches and teaches on the materials and materiality of death, disposal, decomposition, and dispersion.” (AHFA event listing)
This session offers a gentle and practical window into the world of after-death body care, ritual, and family-led funerals.
You don’t need any special knowledge or experience—just a quiet curiosity and a willingness to explore what’s possible when we bring death back home.
As always, there will be tea and cake to accompany the conversation.
