The details have been exact and the presenter has been careful to articulate each fact with clarity. As a person listens to the information contained in the obituary he becomes aware of only skeleton information concerning the life of One of the objectives of avery funeral service should be to per- sonalize that service so that the person's life is the centre of focus. The funeral service is a time to remember the person who has died and give attention to the qualities and characteristics of that life that made him a special friend to those who gather in his memory.
