The decisions we make in funeral and estate planning shape our legacy of love and deliver unparalleled peace of mind. New Year’s resolutions are the things we vow to do to better ourselves in the coming year. While they often focus on things like exercising more or eating healthier, planning for the future has its place, too. Two smart things you can do to ensure a better future are establishing an estate plan and a funeral plan. While it can be unsettling to think about your own demise, all too often, people put off estate and funeral planning until it’s too late.
As we approach 2024, we hope you will look to the future with clarity and hope. Funeral and estate planning are powerful tools that allow you to define your legacy in a way that resonates with you.

Enjoy your Holiday weekend.

Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.

Funeral Potatoes
Such a sad name for a food that makes people so happy.
So exactly what are funeral potatoes? Why are funeral potatoes and the 2002 Winter Olympics connected? If you’ve ever wanted to know, we’ve got the answers.

During the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, one of the souvenir "food pins" featured a depiction of funeral potatoes

Let’s get the basics down. Funeral potatoes are generally made by mixing shredded or cubed potatoes with cheese, a cream soup, and sour cream, topping it all with more cheese and crushed cornflakes, and sticking it in the oven. Despite the simplicity of the recipe, variations abound and people have some really strong feelings about it. Some are purists to the basic recipe above while others love adding some surprised to mix, such as bacon or jalapenos or adding breadcrumbs on top instead of cornflakes. No matter what your favorite recipe is, most everyone has one and if you go to any potluck you’ll find at least five different kinds to try.
The origin of funeral potatoes has been lost to history. However, the general understanding is that Relief Societies began making the dish for funeral dinners and luncheons; funeral potatoes are easy to make in large quantities and can be frozen for later.
