SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCERNING FUNERALS

Recognizing the crowded condi
tions in most homes where funerals
are held, and the great inconven
| fence of conducting the service d
religion under such circumstances
we recommend, that, when large at
ais be taken into the church of tho
family, or friends preference.
Realizing the Importance of the
periods of worship and of services
held in our churches on Sunday reg
ularly, in the stimulation and pro-
motion of spiritual life, and the
work of the church throughout the
world, we deem it wise to avoid fu-
nerals on Sunday, and recommend
ways.
We recommend that funerals be
conducted with dignity and sim
plicity agreeable with Christian
thought and action: that music be
eliminated unless it expresses the
highest thought of God, and of the
Christian life on earth. Hymns
which draw heavily upon the emo.
tions and which therefore increase
be strictly. avoided. Let the hymns
stately in their expression of the
Christian faith. sShowy" funerals
with huge display of flowers and
expensive accessories are decidedly
not in keeping with simplicity and
Christian stewardship.
We recommend that families or
relatives in cooperation with funeral
directors choose between having the
funeral conducted by the church
and fraternal or patriotic order
1t is never necessary to have two or
more services for one departed
Display of the deceased is to be
avoided under all circumstances
and in all places. In order to ac-
commodate those who desire to view
the body, let period of time be
designated when the body may be
seen at the residence, or if necessary
at the church some time well in ad
vance of the service. At the begin.
have been closed; and let it remain
ty, dignity, and consoling influence
of the ministry of religion be pre-
served.
We, the members of the Morgan
County (Ohio) Ministerial associa-
tion conceive this brief statement TO
be the expression of our definite pol
icy with refernce to the conducting
of all funerals.
The above recommendations are
the findings of three months study
of the County Ministerial associa-
tion, and at joint meeting these
recommendations were approved by
the funeral directors of Morgan
