Operating a successful business carries a lot of responsibility. Understanding and reviewing common risks with your employees can go a long way in preventing accidents, controlling losses and protecting profits to lead to a safer, healthier work environment.

With the introduction of the Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act (S. 2191/H.R. 4275), Congress took a vital step toward bringing necessary minimum standards to the largely unregulated process of whole-body donation. The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) thanks Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Rep. Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX) for introducing this important legislation.

The Silha Funeral Home is located in downtown Glendive, MT. Built in the 1950s, it was originally the Koch Huebel Funeral Home. It was eventually bought by Larry Silvernale and became the Silvernale Funeral Home. Then, in 1980, Lance Silha moved to Glendive and joined the business. The name changes to Silvernale-Silha Funeral Home.

Helen Mae Meyer was born on Flag Day, June 14, 1922, to Elsie and Jay Gregory on the farm at Carpenter, ND, one mile from the Canadian border and four miles from the International Peace Garden. Helen has had incredible stamina since the minute she was born. She often talked about being born one month early on the isolated farm, with a throat full of mucus. It was touch-and-go for her and her mother for a while, but they both were strong and stubborn women. It is ironic that Helen left this world on June 3 in the same manner that she came in. She is reunited in peace with her loving husband Dick and three infant boys.
