http:// irakaufman.cornI We Get Questions Q : When we received an audiotape of my mother's OBITS from page 113 funeral, my daughter asked if videotapes of funerals are ever made. I did not know the answer, but told her I would ask. LILLIAN TOLCHIN, 83, of Oak A: We do not have video equipment at this time. We did, however, videotape one funeral many years ago. A young girl was killed tragically in a car accident. Her mother had also been in the car and was in a coma in Intensive Care, but likely to recover. We videotaped the funeral and burial, so she would have some sense of closure later since she not only was unaware of what happened, but was unable to attend.
