❤️ This is the greatest gift you can leave your family. It's not financial—it's peace of mind.

We know: pre-planning a funeral feels daunting. It’s the conversation everyone avoids. But imagine removing the heaviest burden from your loved ones during their time of deepest grief.

In Part 1 of our essential series, Bill and Vonda Rosado break down why pre-arranging your funeral is the most compassionate choice you can make. We discuss how it eliminates family disagreements, ensures your wishes are honored, and allows your family to focus on grieving, not difficult decisions.

➡️ Inside this episode:

What’s the crucial difference between pre-planning and pre-funding?

How Vonda’s 30 years of experience make the process simple.

The legal pitfall families face without prior arrangements.

You are never too young to start. Take the first, simple step today.

The Power of Presence: Compassion for Grievers During the Holidays

We talked with Minister Keith about the difficulty of finding compassionate words for those who are grieving, especially during the emotional holiday season.

He points out that the phrase "I know just how you feel" is often inappropriate because people don't realize that you can't fully understand someone else's specific grief (like losing a son vs. another type of loss).

Keith's Most Compassionate Advice:

Don't worry about having the perfect line. Just show up. Your physical presence, a simple hug, and a genuine, "I'm here for you," is far more helpful than any attempt to relate perfectly.

Listen to the conversation to prepare your heart for supporting others this month. https://youtu.be/hboAiB2mDfQ?si=488z3sSufprlXbTz

We are honored to announce that Miss Macie Gammon is the recipient of the Larry G. Hughes and Ryan Michael Hughes Scholarship for SIU Mortuary Science!

This award is a testament to Macie's dedication, compassion, and commitment to excellence in the funeral industry. We have the pleasure of working with Macie at Johnson-Hughes Funeral Home, and we're blown away by her exceptional work ethic and caring heart.

We are proud to recognize Macie's achievements and honored that Vonda could present her with this award as Diane Hughes was unable to attend and do so herself. She's a true embodiment of the values that Larry G. Hughes instilled in us - a passion for serving others with dignity and respect.

Congratulations, Macie! We're honored to have you on our team and can't wait to see the impact you'll make in our community.

*Fun Fact- Vonda received this same scholarship award in 1993!
