These sophisticated climate control systems, three independent units, when complete will not only provide heating, central air conditioning, and year round humidity control, but will also yield electronically cleaned air. These are the system's greatest assets. People expect air conditioning in any esteemed business today, but the air cleaning is a real extra.

We realize what a hardship it must be for people with allergies to pollen and dust or sensitivity to odors and smoke, to walk into a flower laden or smoke saturated funeral home. We feel that with our new system, this discomfort will be greatly reduced. We also would like to point out that the electronic air cleaner will remove up to of all airborne dust and dirt and up to of all the pollen in the air and up to of smoke filtration. The system also incorporates activated charcoal filters for odor control. A new music system has also been installed providing soft, restful background music for the comfort of the family and friends during calling hours.

This music system also includes an extensive library of beloved hymns. Systems of this nature cannot be quickly installed. Completion of the project, scheduled for May 1st, will entail extensive interior redecorating to accomodate the necessary air ducts. Some of the alterations necessary will be to install new windows, extensive wall papering, new draperies, substantial electrical service and lighting changes such as new crystal chandelier, wall sconces, and a new failproof emergency lighting system..
