You know that feeling of relief when the holidays are finally over?

All the rushing and planning can be exhausting, but being prepared brings peace. The same is true in life when plans are made ahead, your loved ones can focus on what really matters.

Having the talk of a lifetime isn’t always easy, but it can bring comfort when it’s needed most.

Send us a message when you’re ready to start the conversation.

Why do we gather when someone we love passes away?

Because when everything else feels out of control, being together helps us breathe again. Sharing stories, tears, and even laughter brings a little order back to the chaos of loss.

It’s how we remind each other that we’re not alone.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday.

This season can be beautiful and heavy all at once. If you are missing someone you love, take a moment to honor them. Share a holiday memory or tradition that still brings you comfort.

Together, we can make space for both joy and remembrance this Christmas.

Let’s settle this, Christmas Vacation style!
We all have that one dish at the holiday table that makes us do what Clark Griswold did when Cousin Eddie showed up… smile politely and pray someone else eats it first.

So tell us, what’s your least favorite holiday dish?
🍰 The fruitcake that could stop traffic?
🍒 Aunt Bethany’s mystery Jell-O?
🥘 Or maybe that “famous” casserole no one’s brave enough to touch?

Bonus points if you have an Uncle Eddie in your family who proudly brings it every year.

Drop your answer below and make us laugh. We could all use a little Griswold cheer this season.

So many memories live within these walls.

Families have come here to cry, to laugh, and to remember. There have been quiet moments of goodbye and stories that brought smiles through tears.

This place holds it all. It is where love shows up in its realest form, through grief, through memories, and through the people who gather to honor someone they love.

Do you still send Christmas cards?

Some families keep the tradition alive every year, while others have traded stamps for social media greetings.

We’d love to know if you are team “mail them out early,” “last-minute sender,” or “I just love getting them.”

Drop a 🎄 below and tell us your tradition.
