IV 110th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 892 In the House of Representatives, U. S., April 29, 2008 RESOLUTION Resolution expressing support for designation of a National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.

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

That the House of Representatives supports the designation of a National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.
