    Merrill Womach (February 7, 1927 – December 28, 2014) was an American undertaker, organist and gospel singer, notable both for founding National Music Service (now Global Distribution Network, Inc.[1]), which provided recorded music to funeral homes across America, and for surviving a Thursday, November 23, 1961 plane crash in Beaver Marsh, Oregon that left him disfigured with third degree burns on his hands and his entire head.[2]

    Womach authorized an autobiography of his recovery titled Tested by Fire, co-authored with his former wife Virginia with help from Mel and Lyla White. A documentary film titled He Restoreth My Soul was also made about Womach's accident and subsequent recovery.[3]

    He died in his sleep on December 28, 2014.[4]
