A. Manaugh Forward Page Title Page Carabelli Company in Cleveland, Ohio is in search of a print copy. “I was in Napa, CA from 1987 to 1999. When I returned to Ohio, the lion’s share of the funeral work went to Richard Pierce Funeral Service , an adherent to the Manaugh theories of funeral service. Caskets were plainly marked at being ‘cost +15%’, infants were laid-out in cribs, and adults laid- out on a twin bed, with exceptions, of course. The focus was service, period, not merchandising. Maybe we will see a resurgence of interest in Francis Manaugh,” said Butler. If you know where a copy of this book can be found email eric.butler@jcmemorials.com or call Eric at (216) 382-8150.
