Get On The Bus

I promised Ms Diane, our school bus driver, that I would mention her in my blog. I hope everyone who rents a school bus would get as wonderful a driver as she is.
I would like to direct you to the button on the side of the page.  Midwest Green Burial has launched Project OCEAN.  If you have enjoyed reading this blog and have found it helpful, please consider donating today so that we can continue to build out work.


I am not a fan of the long line of cars in procession to the cemetery. I personally do not like the mad dash to the car after the funeral and the getting in line to what might be a long trip to the cemetery.  It seems to me that many drivers these days don’t know what is expected of them when faced with a funeral procession.  Some cars cut in the middle of the procession while others allow the procession to move through.  The last time I was in a funeral procession we drove for forty-five minutes at varying speeds.  I felt at times I needed to speed to keep up and other times we crawled along at a snail’s pace.  I drove alone, which usually I don’t mind, but I did feel cut off since it was such a long drive.  Would I do it again?  Yes, I would because I loved this person, but maybe there is another way? How about renting a school bus for the day?  

I confess, this is not my own idea, but I love it. No need for long funeral processions with everyone on the bus.  People could share a beverage and perhaps a bit of something to eat on the way. Make a playlist of favourite songs of the person. This relaxing atmosphere makes for easier story telling with no worries about getting lost or driving in an emotional state. Funeral buses make driving safer, more enjoyable and create a cozy atmosphere.   With a bus, you would have one mode of transportation, instead of many cars on the road.  They are not terribly expensive considering the funeral price lists I have on hand.  In my area, you could rent a school bus for the day for $250.  Funeral limousines in my area range between $260-$515, and sometimes these have mileage limitations.  You must always check beforehand.  If you wanted to, you could rent a fancier coach or party bus, which would have more amenities such as screens on which you could show a slide presentation, washrooms, etc.   That is totally up to you, but I think a funeral bus makes a whole lot of sense.




This song kept going through my head as I wrote this post, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Renting a school bus for a funeral is a unique and practical option that ensures everyone stays together in a safe, communal environment. Unlike traditional funeral processions, a bus allows for shared moments, such as playing the deceased’s favorite songs or sharing stories, while reducing the stress of driving during an emotional time. It’s also cost-effective, with rentals typically around $250 per day, compared to $260-$515 for limousines with mileage limits. For added comfort, consider a coach or party bus with amenities like washrooms or screens. This choice offers a meaningful and hassle-free way to honor your loved one.

    I graduated from St. Vladamir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York with a Master of Divinity.  I trained as a chaplain following graduation and worked with a wide variety of people. 

    When I moved to Canada, I began work in a women's halfway house in Hamilton, Ontario which worked with women in conflict with the law on a federal level.  I became the program manager and  loved working alongside the women, creating their plans for their reintegration back to the community.  I also worked as a liaison with the parole board, parole officers and other community service providers.

    Upon my return to the United States, I worked in the Death Care Industry as a Family Service Counselor, which lead me to become a green burial advocate. I co-founded Midwest Green Burial Society with Juliann Salinas. I speak  to community groups and have developed practical seminars for a variety of audiences.  I have been interviewed on a national podcast and was featured on a WGN spot dealing with green burial.
