SIMPLICITY
The dignified funeral service oC today is one of simplicity-
Fads and fancies are avoided. And yet, new innovations
are continually making themselves felt. Responsibility in
these matters rests, to a very large extent, with the mor
tician. His duty it is to use discriminating judgment in
adopting the new and discarding the old. For the modern
mortuary arid the service of its personnel are the natural
outgrowth of the accumulated experience of years.
