Let’s settle this once and for all — who makes the best cookies in your family?

Everyone has that one person who could fill the whole house with the smell of fresh-baked cookies. Maybe it was your grandma with her secret recipe or your dad who “accidentally” ate half the dough.

In honor of National Cookie Day, we’d love to hear about the person and the cookie that brings back your favorite memories. Drop their name or recipe below and let’s share some sweetness today.

Why should you pre-plan your funeral? You'll be gone, right?

Not really. You will never be gone from the hearts, minds, and lives of your loved ones left behind. Establishing a plan for them means locking in today's low prices while ensuring that future burdens and stress don't get passed onto family members.

Send us a message so we can help create a service perfect for you and your loved ones!

“Grief triggers” are reminders—often unexpected—of those we've lost. These triggers can be anything from a memory, a birthday, or even seeing someone in a crowd who resembles your loved one. Although grief triggers can provoke anxiety, facing them rather than avoiding them can aid in your healing process.

Tag someone who might need to hear this today.
