A STUDY WAS RECENTLY CONDUCTED with the goal of assisting classes with getting memorial articles written. One of the two tools that came out of the study is an information sheet for collecting information at the time of a classmates funeral. |
As the Class Rep at a funeral, you will be representing your classmates and obtaining information to assist in the writing of a memorial article for the deceased. It is requested that you attempt to obtain as much of the following information as possible within the normal confines of respect and dignity toward the deceaseds loved ones. |
Please return whatever information you are able to obtain to the Memorial Articles Representative or other duly identified member of your class. |
If you do not know the individual, fax the form to: |
Tony Ferraiuolo Director, Class Support Program 845-446-5325
