A new way to keep memories close-

At the National Funeral Directors Convention, we discovered a unique product that beautifully connects scent and memory. These keepsakes can be personalized with a photo, name, and dates—and you can spray your loved one’s favorite fragrance on it to use as an air freshener.

Scent is one of the strongest ties to memory. A familiar perfume, cologne, or even a favorite candle scent can instantly bring someone’s presence back to heart.

Would you like this as a remembrance keepsake?

❤️ Yes
👍 No

🕯️ All Souls’ Day 🕯️
Today we remember and pray for all souls who have gone before us — especially those still on their journey to eternal peace.

As Deacon Mike Ellis shared so beautifully this morning at the All Souls’ Day Remembrance Mass at Church of the Resurrection:

“Look up and see the sunset — your loved one is watching over you.
Look up and see the brightest star — your loved one is looking over you.
Look up and see the grandeur of God — God is looking over you.”

May perpetual light shine upon them, O Lord

Our last full day at the National Funeral Directors Association Convention!
It’s been four days of education, networking, and gathering new ideas to bring home to better serve our families and community. Some ideas are classic… others are a little out there (like a casket made of mushrooms — would you try it?). Thielen

👇 What’s the most unique or meaningful funeral idea you’ve ever heard of?

Yes, there really is a National Funeral Directors Association Conference — and yes, people usually laugh when they hear that! 😄

But for Adam and me, it’s one of our favorite times of the year. It’s a chance to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and share ideas with others who have the same passion for helping families through life’s hardest moments. 💙

We always come home re-energized and inspired — full of new ideas and fresh perspectives to bring back to our community.

Because at the heart of it all, everything we learn and everything we do is to help us serve our families even better. Adam Thielen
