This past week we attended my grandfather’s funeral. A company was hired to record the funeral and they did a wonderful job. The day after the funeral, a recording of the funeral talks and musical numbers was available to us. This recording will become a treasured part of our family history and it occurred to me that others might want to know about this possibility as well.
The service we used can be found at funeralrecording.com
My grandfather, Tracy Hall, passed away this morning at about 3am. He was a wonderful example and influence in my life and he will be missed.

My sister wrote a blog post that has lots of wonderful pictures and stories about him.
