Some songs make you cry, and some make you dance like no one’s watching...both can be healing.

After the holidays, music has a way of reminding us that joy and comfort can coexist.

Do I need to pre-plan if I already have life insurance?

While you may have life insurance, the reimbursement a surviving family member receives isn’t always an option for funeral expenses. Even if you have a policy in place, your loved ones may not receive the reimbursement in time, or it may not cover the full amount, leaving them to pay out-of-pocket for final arrangements.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

As we celebrate this special day, we’re reminded of how meaningful it is to be surrounded by love, friendship, and community. Whether you’re gathering with family, sharing stories of loved ones, or simply taking a quiet moment of reflection, may your day be filled with peace and warmth.

Tell us how you’re celebrating today. We’d love to hear from you.

This profession isn’t 9–5.
It isn’t Monday–Friday.
And it doesn’t pause for holidays.

This morning, I’m on my way to the funeral home to care for a loved one because a family needed us — and when families call, we answer. No matter the day on the calendar.

Service means being available when it matters most, even on holidays. Especially then.

Holding that family close in our thoughts this Christmas Eve.

Always at your service,
Chris

WE GO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS…

What looks like “just pouring fluid” actually takes calculation, intention, and care.

Every number matters.

Every body is different.

And embalming is never cookie-cutter.

Take less than 2 minutes and step behind the doors with me — this is the part of funeral service most people never get to see.

Watch to learn why precision matters!

Always at your service,
Chris
