Cheers to THREE years for AFDA member firm Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremations. We’re on the move!

✨ Celebrating 3 Years of Service, Compassion & Purpose ✨

Today, we celebrate three years of serving our community from our home at Cornerstone Funeral Services & Cremations. What began with a calling to serve has grown into a mission-centered place of care, dignity, and support for families during life’s most difficult moments.

Our mission has always been clear: to provide peace of mind with compassion and excellence—before, during, and long after the service. Through our Grief Forward Initiative, we extend care beyond arrangements by offering meaningful grief resources for adults, teens, and families, because we believe healing does not end when services conclude. It continues—step by step, heart by heart.

Over the past three years, we are deeply honored to have been recognized for our commitment to excellence, compassionate service, and community impact through local and national awards. These acknowledgments reflect not just our work, but the trust families place in us and the dedication of a team that serves from the heart.

Most importantly, we are grateful. Grateful to the families who entrusted us with their loved ones. Grateful to our staff who show patience, professionalism, and care every day. And grateful to our community for allowing us to walk alongside you during moments of loss, remembrance, and healing.

As we move forward, our promise remains the same: to serve with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping families move forward—together.

💜 Thank you for three meaningful years.
Here’s to continuing the journey.

— Bernard Buggs Jr & The Cornerstone Family
