Answer: Yes! In fact, most families choose to have a service to commemorate the life that has 'been lived. Often families decide to have a day or period of visitation and a funeral service and following that service the body is transported to a crematorium. Others have a memorial service after cremation has taken place.

Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello 171 A research study involving 27,000 Seventh -day Atd- • ventists was published recently. The study def,ntd the number of years earlier that heart disease wou.d occur in people with the following rick factors: being overweight: 1.9 years; smoking: 3.1 years; high blood pressure: 4.9 years; no regular exercise: 5.7 years; diabetes:. 8.3,year s. Studies like these really reinforce the merits of a low-fat diet, no smok- ing or drinking of alcohol and adequate exercise. Palliative Care: By definition to "palliate' means to relieve -or lessen without cure. The goal of palliative. care is to keep the patient comforta- ble, not to cure the disease they have. It's an extremely important part of health care and we'd like to salute all -those caregivers and health professionals who. are involved in palliative care. If you have a hoarse voice for two weeks or more and you aren't sick, check with your doctor. The problem could be caused by smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, or abusing your voice by yelling or scream- ing. But it could be a sign of more serious health problems. Get it checked. Take charge of your own health. Be informed and talk with your doctor and pharmacist about your health and medication concerns. HURON APOTHECARY Lig.
