To Those Who
Might Hesitate
To Make Their

Arrangements

Some persons are surprised, or even astounded,
upon learning that friend or acquaintance has
made funeral arrangements in advance. These
persons, however, are quick to see the wisdom Of

the thought of such move, let us offer you
reassurances concerning its thoughtfulness and
practcality Not only will your loved ones deeply
appreciate your foresight at some future time, but
you may save your estate great deal of money.
1t is this practical approach that is most ap-
pealing to the practical man or woman. A quick
look at the facts reveals that the individual
making his own funeral arrangements is not sub
ject to the stress Of bereavement and acts wisely

Gawler'S makes every effort to serve bereaved
persons with appropriate funerals that within
the means of all We find added satisfaction in
being able to serve those thoughtful individuals
who take the time to make their own funeral ar
rangements in advance. We would be most CO.

arrangement.

arrangements for yourself is thoughtful and
practical move. Please come in and discuss the
matter in detail, or you may phone for appoint
