We often think cemeteries are places of loss—but they’re really places of love.
Every name tells a story, every visit keeps a promise. Sometimes, the quietest places hold the loudest reminders of what matters most.

Workout with me.

The reps of healing look like tears, memories, and moments of courage you didn’t know you had. That’s the muscle you’re building. Grief isn’t a weakness—it’s resistance training for the soul.

This Vietnam Era Veteran didn't expect his small town to do this

Pat Chouinard, our maintenance man, Vietnam veteran, and the smile we're always happy to see. He grew up in a tiny Wisconsin town that went the extra mile to honor its veterans. This mural isn't just paint on a wall. It's a community saying: We see you. We remember.

Pat works hard every day, keeps our doors open, and carries his service with quiet pride.

Today, we want to say thank you, and not just for what you do here, but for what you've done for all of us.

We're proud to call you family, Pat.

What do you think?

When you see a monument, you're not just looking at a marker of death. You're witnessing proof that someone lived, loved, and left their mark on this world.

That's what we help families create—not just memorials, but lasting tributes to lives fully lived.

If you've been thinking about pre-planning or honoring a loved one's legacy, we're here to guide you with care and respect.

Behind every comforting moment is a therapy dog who knows how to recharge.

Finn's secret to being there for families? Never skipping playtime with his best friend Potato. Because you can't pour from an empty cup - even if that cup is a water bowl. 🐶💙
