2. Helping the deceased ascend to a higher spiritual realm

 

  • On the right-hand side of the Little House, under “Offer To:”, write the full name of the deceased. You may also write the relationship between yourself and the deceased e.g. “Grandfather XXX”, “Aunt XXX”. Again, the reciter must write their name under “Offered By:” (refer to Figure 13).
  • If the full name of the deceased is unknown, you may specify the relationship between the deceased and the living person, e.g. “Grandfather of YYY”, “Father of YYY”, YYY being the full name of the living person (refer to Figure 14).

Figure 13 The Recipient (a Deceased): “Grandfather John Nerk” or Simply “John Nerk”

Figure 14 Fred Nerk Is a Living Person and His Grandfather Is a Deceased person. Fred Is Unaware of His Grandfather’s Full Name, So the Recipient Is Addressed as “Grandfather of Fred Nerk”
