vgftL W% Ob Cfcarifo Harris I Gary iesttewd BA* J Ibsen was one of the great playrights. One of the characters in his famous play. (HOSTS, has this to say: "I am half-inclined to think we are all ghosts .... It is not only what we have inherited from our fathers that exists again in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and all kinds of old dead beliefs and things of that kind. They ore not actually olive in us; but there they are dormant, all the same, and we can never be rid of them. There must be ghosts all over the world . . . as countless as grains of the sands. And we are so miserably afraid of the light, all of us". Unfortunately the fear of ghosts extends to other areas only through a lack of knowledge. In today s society this is fast changing. It is now realized that a knowledge and awareness of the funeral process can help everyone, young and old, achieve a healthier, more realistic and more acceptable outlook on life.
