Believe it or not, we all possess the ability to communicate with the deceased (those who have "passed over"), but few people understand or use this gift because of ignorance (lack of knowledge), narrow mindedness, and fear.  Most communication with those who have "passed over" occurs while we are sleeping, but many other people worldwide do have the ability or gift to communicate with people on the "other side" while they're in a waking state.  Interestingly enough, scientific studies seem to indicate that many of these "mediums'" physical-brain waves seem to exhibit patterns associated with sleep.  I, myself, have seen and communicated with at least two "deceased" persons - a good friend and former college roommate and my wife's mother - while asleep.  This occurred when I was in a fully conscious/lucid-dream state.  In other words, I knew exactly what was going on (just like you would in the physical world), could consciously think and act, was able to carry on a two-way conversation with the "deceased," and remembered everything consciously immediately upon awakening from sleep.  Native Americans and other "more primitive" people across the globe have openly discussed this type of "dream" communication with the "deceased" for thousands of years.  "Modern" man, however, has allowed fear, prejudice, and "scientific" superstition to erode this ability.  Gary Schwartz, Ph.D. of the University of Arizona (a noteworthy exception), conducted a series of experiments on well respected, reputed "mediums" like John Edward, George Anderson, Suzane Northrup, and others under extremely rigorous laboratory conditions (triple and quadruple blind studies, etc.) which, to Schwartz' amazement (he was agnostic), indicated that these gifted individuals or "mediums" did seem to be communicating with the "deceased."  Read: "The Afterlife Experiments - Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life after Death," by Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D. availiable at Amazon.com  Of course, many average people worldwide also report that they have communicated with the "deceased" in "ghostly" form while fully awake.  Statistically, these encounters generally are reported to be positive experiences rather than the negative experiences that usually predominate in books of fiction, TV shows, and movies.  Most of these positive "ghostly" encounters tend to center around four major themes: 1.  The deceased "John Doe" wanted to say goodbye to a loved one still alive but not present shortly or even immediately after they - "John Doe" - died.  2. The "ghost" or "deceased" came back to protect or help a loved one still alive, or even a stranger, during a moment of crisis or emergency.  3.  The "deceased" or "ghost" appeared to a living loved one who was strongly thinking of the "deceased" or was in a deep trance or meditative state.  4.  The "deceased" or "ghost" materialized in order to give some type of informaton to another person still living.  Note:  Positive experiences appear to be the norm, but that does not mean that more negative "ghostly" encounters have not or cannot occur.  The concept of "ghosts" can be found in just about every culture on the planet, but it receives much less attention or authenticity in societies that are more fear based which tends to decrease spiritual or metaphysical experiences for any said population overall, and also likely, many of these ghostly encounters remain unreported because of the fear of what "other people" might think.

A medium is able to see and/or communicate with the dead; seance or no.

Typically, the immediate family is responsible for the entire ceremony, disposition of the remains, etc.  Extended family, neighbors and church community play a role for the extra things that the family should not be burdened with (i.e., food arrangement for the "pass" or other things that they do not have time to deal with that could include informing others of the passing of the individual).  The family would be responsible for writing the obit (unless the funeral home includes it in their fee for service package), arrange the eulogy with a presiding officiant that knew the deceased, etc. \n\nThe link below has a lot of information and "etiquette" that should be observed during this time of grief.\n\nNote:  Whatever the family does not want to deal with, there is always a close neighbor or other family member that will take care of the details.

I don't think he can - but he is *very* convincing.\nHe uses technique called 'cold reading' - a technique used by mediums to convince others that they know more than the really do.\nA medium claiming to get messages from the dead might throw out a string of ambiguous images to the client. Father figure, the month of May, the Big-H, and H with an N sound, Henna, Henry, M, maybe Michael, teaching, books, maybe something published. This list could mean different things to different people. To some people it probably has no meaning. The client will either connect these dots or she won't. Clients of mediums who claim to get messages from the dead are very highly motivated clients. Not only do they have an implicit desire for immortality, they have an explicit desire to contact a dear loved one who has died. The odds are in favor of the medium that the client will find meaning in many different sets of ambiguous words and phrases. If she connects just a couple of them, she may be satisfied that the medium has made a connection to a dead relative.\nYou could argue that it is harmless and that it does provide some sense of hope, or closure to the client. On the other hand, it could be considered to be exploiting people and playing on their emotions.

could it be the teacher who made a difference?\n\nnot only i can give you the email but also the story behind it\n\n"I was the last one to bless the coffin. As I stood there, one of the soldiers who had acted as pallbearer came up to me. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. I nodded as I continued to stare at the coffin. "Mark talked about you a lot," he said. \n\nAfter the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting for me. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

I think a good idea would be to call a mortuary and ask someone who works there. I am sure they are dying to talk to a live person for a change. *smile* I'm joking, but I'm serious.\n\nAlso try looking up "mortuary assistant" in Yahoo! Search.
