] 13S RR For THE FINEST IN FUNERALS REGARDLESS OF PRIG

Peace Chapel

HIGH cos oF pyiNG

4y BILL DAVIDSON

NOTE: Collier's is to be congratulated for its forthright denunciation of the members of the funeral industry ; guilty of “'Profiteering in Sorvow.’! While this article exaggerates the sensational qualities of the story merely as a vehicle of gaining readership— this is the only wn fortunate thing that was done. The distortion of the article is unfortunate—the facts are interesting enough to stand alone. For example, the comparison of funeral costs in Europe with those in America cannot be justified on any true basis of comparison. Nonetheless, the article deserves your reading. Whi in this article little restraint has been shown in certain areas of thinking, it nonetheless presents much for serious consideration of the problem. With more restraint, and less of the sensational, the article would have offered a more constructive contribution to the understanding of the public on what funerals ought to cost . . . although it might have been less interesting.

Prac Carrs has pioneered in many improvements . , . many innovations in the services offered to the public. Peace Chapel has sought to offer its patrons every facility and benefit that provides comfort . . . and yet ease the burden of the heart . . . without making undue demands upon the purse.

Prace Carrs can proudly say that the principles featured in this article “The High Cost of Dying” when measured with restraint and an understanding of what customers demand is in keeping with the practice developed at Peace Chapel. Everyone does not seck the cheapest funeral . . . many are indignant when we suggest that it would be better to pay less.

Minx prorre find greater happiness and satisfaction in providing their loved ones with an appropriate tribute . . . and we would be derelict in our duty if we didn’t provide it. It's our job to provide the best in service and materials at the lowest possible cost to all. It’s our fixed policy to provide the same high quality of service to everyone regardless of the price of the casket—and there is a complete selection from the finest to the simplest.

Prices are posted on each casket in our display room=-and are not adjusted upwards when some well-to-do customers find their way with troubled heart to Peace Chapel. This practice was pioneered in Peace Chapel . . . and now many lay claim to this distinction, yet we know that the policy is not strictly adhered to —otherwise the costs to many unwary and misguided citizens for the funerals of their distinguished loved ones would not run so high.

When 11 comes to talking of the “high cost of dying” Peace Chapel invites comparison . . . casket for casket . . . quality for quality with anyone. This discussion of funeral prices is distasteful —it’s just as distasteful to us as it is to you—yet we appreciate fully the great contribution that Collier’s has made to the consciousness and the understanding that the public will now have of this expenditure.

Peace Cuarns urgently invites you to discuss funerals in terms ~ of costs so that such magazine articles will not have to be written in the future. Peace Chapel hopes that its contribution to the public welfare . . . and to the welfare of each patron may be understood. Peace Chapel seeks to serve the living and to conserve their funds in order that they may live better —and yet provide a fitting tribute to departed loved ones to the complete satisfaction of the living.

Sincerely yours,

oA EN 4
