Judiciary

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Supporting National Funeral Service Education Week.
Whereas the death of a family member, friend, or loved one is a devastating
emotional event;
Whereas people must have all of the information necessary to make informed
funeral service choices and to maintain total trust in their funeral
service provider;
Whereas memorialization and celebration of life are the fabric of the modern
funeral service;
Whereas the memorialization of a loved one is important to grieving families and
is beneficial to the healing process;
Whereas families have traditionally looked to funeral directors and morticians
for consolation, strength, and guidance in the planning and
implementation of meaningful funeral ceremonies; and
Whereas national funeral service organizations have designated the week of
September 21 through 27, 2003, as National Funeral Service Education
Week, a week which reflects the efforts of funeral directors to meet the
needs of families who want a meaningful service that celebrates the
lives of their loved ones: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That Congress supports efforts to establish National Funeral Service
Education Week as a week during which funeral service professionals and
consumer advocates work together to provide consumers with timely and
detailed information about choices in the planning of a meaningful
funeral and the selection of funeral goods and services.
