COM Comfort Music Overstock SAN CLEMENTE,CA— In 1992, Fred Frank found the quality and dated sound of music available for funeral services to be disappointing. He founded Comfort Music offering appropriate and sensitive- ly produced instrumental and vocal artistry, and sen- sitive planning and arrang- ing. The entire Comfort Music library has been dig- itally recorded, mixed and mastered. Thousands of funeral homes have already discov- ered the Comfort Music option offering refreshing renditions of the contem- porary and the classics— selected, recorded and pro- duced specifically for the funeral service profession. For a limited time the en- tire music library is avail- able at overstock pricing. To hear samples or for or- dering information visit www.comfortmusic.com . The Dodge Company Announces Retirement of Jack Adams Jack Adams BILLERICA,MA— After almost 30 years as a Dodge representative, Jack Adams retired at the end of 2018. While Jack gave up his daily duties of calling on cus- tomers, Jack plans to continue submitting articles to the Dodge Magazine, working with Dodge on technical clin- ics, helping to develop program materials and to con- tinue teaching at Worsham College. Along the way, he will also work with state funeral associations with embalming programs. Tim Collison, Dodge’s Chief Operating Officer recalls when Jack started with Dodge; giving up his trade embalming service in Chicago and begin- ning his distinguished ca- reer representing Dodge in the Chicagoland terri- tory, as well as nationally and internationally. As he said, “Who knew back then, that Jack would become one of the most recognizable and respected faces and names in funeral service?” Those interested in having Jack present, just drop Sal- ly Belanger a note at sbelanger@dodgeco.com , and she will see if something can be worked out that is mutu- ally convenient for all concerned. Local, Chicagoland practitioners may reach out to Jack at jackgonefishinn@ gmail.com or 708-278-8491.
