[H. Res. 892 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 29, 2008.
Whereas the death of a family member, friend, or loved one is a devastating 
        emotional event;
Whereas the memorialization and celebration of the decedent's life is the fabric 
        of today's funeral service;
Whereas the family of the decedent has traditionally looked to funeral directors 
        and morticians for consolation, strength, and guidance in the planning 
        and implementation of a funeral ceremony; and
Whereas March 11, 2008, would be an appropriate day to designate as ``National 
        Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day'' to pay tribute to these 
        funeral directors and morticians who, day in and day out, assist our 
        Nation's families in their times of sadness and grief and help families 
        mourn a death and celebrate a life: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the designation of a 
``National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day''.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
