I wrote to two funeral homes in my area about 2 years ago. I sent self addressed envelopes for the replies. One of the funeral Home directors called me on the telephone and went out of his way to help me even though he had nothing on the name I was looking for. This past summer, I sent him a note letting him know I had finally found the person I was looking for and thanked him for his help. The other funeral home was never heard from. So I guess the answer is it doesn't hurt to write and ask for information. Pam Pamcu@aol.com
