casket or urn? cremated or embalmed? thebehind scenes at funeral homes
BY ADRIENNE SARVIS [email protected] What happens when we die? While there are many theories of what happens to the spirit after death, there are fewer questions about what happens to a person’s body. For those questions about what remains, two of Sumter’s funeral directors provided a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes of funeral preparations. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE In South Carolina, a person needs an As- sociate Degree in Mortuary Science, at least one year of apprenticeship and a passing grade on South Carolina and national board exams, according to Frank Williams III, li- censed funeral director and embalmer with Robert “Bobby” McCreight shows options Williams Funeral Home, and Robert “Bobby” for urns at Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral McCreight, licensed funeral director, em- Home and Crematory. balmer and president with Elmore Hill Mc- Creight Funeral Home and Crematory. EMBALMING It’s basically replacing natural body fluids with preservative fluids, Williams said. The embalming process, McCreight said, is a procedure where an arterial fluid is injected from a machine through a tube into the arteri- al system of the body and essentially pushes the blood out through the vascular system, beginning the process of sanitation, disinfec- tion, preservation and restoration of the human remains.

Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health are becoming
Why Prisma Health?
Since we launched our new health organization last November, we have made great progress by building on the strength and legacies of Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health. Together, we are looking at health in a completely new way.
In early 2019, we will unite under one name, one logo and one way of delivering health care. Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group will begin transitioning to its new name, Prisma Health-USC Medical Group, in late 2019.
Because the name Prisma Health is unique, we can make it our own. Our bold, fresh visual identity includes sharp angles and bright, vibrant colors that distinguish us from traditional health care providers in our region. The design of the letters is intentional and engaging, evoking UIFGBDFUTPGBQSJTN5IFOBNFBOEMPHPSFƌFDUUIFNVMUJGBDFUFE EZOBNJDPSHBOJ[BUJPOXF are today, and light the way for all we are becoming.
What stays the same?
We will continue to honor the sacred relationships our patients and their families have with their physicians and advanced practice providers. Your doctor won’t change. Your hospital won’t DIBOHF0OMZPVSDPNQBOZOBNFTBOEMPHPTXJMMDIBOHFUPSFƌFDUPVSOFXVOJƋFEPSHBOJ[BUJPO
While our hospital names will change to include the Prisma Health brand, each will keep its familiar legacy name, including Tuomey here in Sumter.
We continue to be dedicated to transforming health care through education and clinical research. Collaborating with our academic partners, we are teaching the next generation of physicians, nurses, dentists and other medical professionals, and investing in research to improve the lives of those we serve.
And we continue our commitment to keep health care local. By coming together as one, we’re shaping our own future so we may continue to improve the health of all South Carolinians.
What’s our promise?

If you want to retire successfully but are starting from scratch at age 50, you need a plan. This is the third of a four- part series on how to make it happen.
Finding yourself at age 50 and broke isn’t exactly what you had in mind when you graduated from high school. And, to be fair, you might not even be bothered by your asset-less current reality. Not having money isn’t indicative of a bad life or poor choices. Time just got away from you. All that is in the past. There’s nothing you can do about that, so don’t waste any energy trying to rewrite history. You need your focus here. The first two weeks of our four-week project were dedicated to cleaning up your financial past (debt) and living a more realistic financial present (life- style). We had to start there because if we didn’t, there would be no chance at a future. Let’s quickly review some important GETTY IMAGES numbers and details we’ve previously covered.

THE SUMTER ITEM · SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 | C3 PERSONAL FINANCE What you need to know about wills
Most people likely know there are some basic documents they need for their estate plan. Those include a will, living wills or medical directives, durable powers of attorney for health care or property, and side letters. ❚ But what most people don’t realize is that the seemingly simplest of these documents – the will – isn’t as simple as it might sound. ❚ Here’s what John Scroggin, an attorney with the Georgia firm Scroggin & Co., says you need to know about a will.
