Performing the rituals associated with death, such as funerals, help the grieving process move toward closure.
Delays can add to grief.
With this in mind, Community Tissue Services will be providing tissue procurement teams in local communities. This will reduce the time grieving families need wait for their loved ones' bodies to arrive at the funeral home. The organization hopes to expand local services to even more communities in its service area. The goal of Community Tissue Services is to con-sistently supply quality service to families, hospitals, coroners, funeral directors, recipients and transplant surgeons. The Indiana Lions Eye Bank shares these ob-jectives and both organizations salute all who make donation and transplantation a reality.
