Give yourself grace.

When a death happens, everything can feel like it moves so fast. From the first phone call to the day of the service, it can feel like a blur.

Slow down when you can.
Breathe when you need to.
You are allowed time to process.

Grief is not on a schedule.

In loving memory of Sharon K. Busby.

She worked with steady, faithful hands,
And loved in ways so true,
Through simple things—like bowls of chili—
And time she gave to you.

In laughter shared and games well played,
In moments big and small,
Her greatest joy was family—
The heart that held it all.

Please visit her tribute page to leave a condolence of your choice and share a memory.

Why does everyone need closure after a death?

Because grief doesn’t just need time. It needs a moment.

A moment to see.
A moment to say goodbye.
A moment to begin accepting what has happened.

Closure doesn’t erase the pain. It helps you move forward with it.

We see it every week.

Families making difficult decisions in the middle of heartbreak.

And we also have the privilege of sitting with individuals who choose to plan ahead and give their loved ones peace.

That’s why pre-planning matters.

Funeral Director by profession…

…but also a dad, a handyman, a lawn crew, a taxi driver, a late-night problem solver, a community volunteer, and the guy who somehow always answers the phone when someone needs help.

At Colwell Memorial Home & Crematory, families see the professionalism and compassion he brings to every service. At home and around town, we see all the other roles he quietly fills every single day.

If you’ve ever had a conversation with him, worked beside him, or watched the care he gives to families during some of their hardest moments, you know exactly what I mean.

Today we celebrate the heart behind the calling.

Happy National Funeral Director / Mortician Day to the very best one I know. ❤️
