One of the strongest sentiments
of every human being" is respect
for the dead. In' all a?eg' and in
all .stajrca .x)t society, ,jj oiu. the
most, ignorant, savage to; the high
est representative7 of " the race, -la
found this instinct to respect'thelr
dead and to defend froiof "Se'secra
tica the grave? of their' ancestor.
orrow for the dead Is a universal
Lurhari emotion. ''Each nation 'or
tribe has its customs' for "express
15 this eniotlon. 0 These customs,
though differing' greatly nf their
form, are air centered around the
one great universal human belief
tlian raan possesses "an' immortal
aa well as a mortal being. " Most
religions teach' that "When Tim
Eiiall be no-More" the Immortal
part of man will be reunited to his
mortal being .never again to "be
separated, throughout all eternit.
TLIa is cae of the basic doctrines
of the Christian! religion .and it ,1s
In conformity to this belief burial!
customs are founded. -J.The -office
of funeral director Is therefore no
less eaered than Is that of priest
of minister. In Jala contact' with
the loved ones'... relatives and
frlendaof the dead, he deals withtudent t Willamette University,
the most tender and deepest emo-
tions of the human soul-in -its
hour of trial. ;
It la thus . fitting and proper
that a: funeral director ne, a per
