This needs to be done by your distribution's init system. For /home, your
distribution should support some flavor of /etc/crypttab.
You use crypttab to map an encrypted block device to an unencrypted block
device. This will show up as /dev/mapper/<name>. You then use fstab to specify
the mount as normal. So if your encrypted device is /dev/sda4, crypttab will
have a mapping of /dev/sda4 to <name>. Then, fstab will have a mount of
/dev/mapper/<name> to /home.
