E.R. Good Funeral Home extends client service Jim Erb ogens cug‘boards in the kitchen just off the new reception facilities at the Edward R. Good Funeral Home. Bev Conquest Chronicle Staff Funeral homes are beginning to provide more services for bereaved families, said Jim Erb, a partner of the Edward R. Good Funeral Home, which plans to unveil new facilities on Sunday, April 17 at an open house. EU fotdial is se meaihens cemenis i d whet sidoi in obiieniinca is en sw The addition of a library, reception room and kitchen for use after a funeral, cost ‘"in excess of $150,000", Erb said, but people were asking for the service. The practice began in the United States, he explained, and has spread to the area. Some funeral homes even provide counselling or followâ€"up serâ€" vices for grieving relatives if a minister or close friend is unavailable.

In the long run he said he expects the investment will provide a return. The reception room provides an alternative to a chapel or home setting; catering provided by the family, church or caterers, is optional, Erb said. The library will have books about coping with death. "For those whose affiliation with the church is not that strong, funeral homes (are tending) to provide a different place to go," he remarked, adding that while he deals with "a lot of church funerals" they are not the majority.
