What Every Family Should Know ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION Our last things! • We Canadians have the ability to plan for our financial futures! We are a country which has more life insurance per capita — we have a pro- gram of pension and security payments and retirement fun- ding which is the envy of many modern countries. The co-operation of unions and in- dustry has developed personal financial planning tor the future. We plan for our children's educations. for retirement, for travel and in the last few years a new phenomena — planning for the last things — our funerals. The last reporting fall of 1983) to the Ontario Board of Funeral services. the govern- ment body under the Ministry. of Health which governs funeral homes shows that there are over 90 million dollars placed on deposit with funeral directors to guarantee a pre- arranged funeral. The government is strict about how these funds are received and how they are to be kept. The funeral director must deposit ALL of the funds he receives in a trust fund in a chartered hank or trust com- pany or credit union certified under the Credit Union Act. The total interest which is derived from the placement of these funds is added to the principal sum and is used to take care of any increase in the cost of services or merchan- dise or disbursements outlin- ed in the agreement The funeral director is not allowed to use any oI these funds in his business The funds can not be taken out unless requested by the person designated in the agreement or until the death of the person for whom the agreement is made. In effect, the person plat- ing the funds still owns the money and the funeral dire( tor is acting not only as a fiduciary. a financial manager. hut also as a guarantor that Your area Ontario Funeral Service Members ore certain things will be carried out by him in his professional funeral directing capacity. it must be remembered that funds placed with a cemetery promotion can in- clude certain funeral -related items such as grave space, a concrete vault, cremation, markers or monuments which are paid for at the time of pur-. chase, often with carrying charges. These funds can not be returned and do not earn any interest. There are some things the funeral director should make clear and things the consumer should resolve before funds are placed. This is both for the protection of the consumer and the funeral director. for you as a consumer will not want the feeling that you arc "being taken" and the funeral direc- tor as a community profes- sional will not want any misunderstandings to affect his good will and his public image. Ask: if the funds are plac- ed to secure maximum interest. Ask: how definite is the casket and service items which will eventually he provided.

The Scripture Lesson was read from Isaiah 49:18-23, Revelation 3:17-20, John 10:11-18. The Meditation was entitl- ed "No Excuse Needed". At Thanksgiving one of the hymns we often sing is "We Plough the Fields". It is a hymn which reminds us of our closeness to the land. Isaiah 49:18-20 is a portion of a ser- mon to the people of northern Israel who have forgotten their past. They think they have received special status in the sight of God through their own endeavours when, in fact, God gave them that status as.a gift. Isaiah warns the people to remember - remember their past in their deeds - or they will suffer. We give thanks for this year's harvest but we also give thanks for the eternal harvest. The harvest of souls God will take from this world into His Kingdom. In commu- nion we remember both harvests. We eat bread and drink wine - products of this world but as flesh and blood of Christ - products of God's holy and eternal Kingdom. Rev. Matheson spoke on a minute for missions entitled "Ecumenical Ministry of the Deaf". Communion was then served by members of .the Session.
