Thanks!  This seems to work.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">
function toObits()
{
parent.location.href="http://www.whitakerfuneralhome.com/obit.shtml"
}
</script>
<a href="http://www.whitakerfuneralhome.com/obit.shtml" target="_parent" 
onClick="toObits()">See On-Line Obituary Listing for more details</a>
