March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the women who have helped shape our communities, professions, and everyday lives.
Funeral service is a field where women have made meaningful contributions for generations. The photo shared with this post features two of the women who serve families here every day — owner Josie Toller and her assistant, Lily Eubank. We’re proud to have them as part of our funeral home and the care they provide to the families in our community.
We’re also sharing a short 3-minute video from Kari the Mortician about Henrietta Duterte, who is recognized as the first woman funeral director in the United States. Her story is an important part of the history of funeral service and the path that helped open doors for women in the profession.
Take a few minutes to watch and learn more about her remarkable story.
