Winter weather can be beautiful, but it can also be demanding on the heart. Shoveling snow is more strenuous than many people realize, especially in cold temperatures, and it can increase the risk of heart-related emergencies.
This February, we encourage everyone to take heart health seriously: pace yourself, take breaks, and don’t hesitate to ask for help when snow needs clearing. Protecting your health is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones.
Leave a ❤️ if you are or will be mindful of your heart health this month!

Today a Hershey's chocolate bar caused a wave.
He loved Hershey's chocolate. His favorite was the dark chocolate bar with almonds. Seeing it in the store was fine, and I even debated buying a bar even though I'm not a fan of dark chocolate. I didn't put it in my basket and continued my shopping.
But driving home, I thought about that chocolate bar and how I would have bought it. How I probably would have bought two because he would have finished the first in a day. And that caused a tidal wave.
If you like Hershey's chocolate, please have some for him.

Q: If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?
A: Yes. Depending upon the cemetery's policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.

What began back in 1883 with D. D. Pafford operating a local hardware store with "undertaking services" turned into a full time funeral home when his son, Royal R. Pafford guided the business into the 20th century.
After Royal Pafford's early death in 1950, his daughter, Eva Louise Pafford, continued the family business. Being a woman in the business traditionally run by men, the now Eva Pafford Helms devoted her entire life and steered the family business into a community icon.
Mrs. Helms died in 1989, and Pafford Funeral Home continued with the fourth generation owner, her son, Robert Pafford Helms. With tradition as its foundation, the family business that began simply in 1883 as a hardware store is now a leader in the community and state within its profession.
As a family business that faces its third century, it continues to serve the citizens of Lexington and Henderson County in unparalleled service and professionalism and is the county's oldest family owned and operated business.
Expanding to give families the quality service they deserve throughout all aspects of the funeral service, we also own Henderson County Memory Gardens. Our goal is to provide the highest quality funeral service to families with care and dignity to the deceased as has been our tradition for over 120 years.
