We get asked a lot of questions about embalming.

In this video, Gordon talks more about one of the biggest ones we hear: how long embalming actually lasts, and there’s no one better to explain it. He keeps it simple, walks through what families can expect, and explains how embalming can give loved ones a little extra time to gather and say goodbye.

It’s one of those topics that can feel confusing, but Gordon does a great job breaking it down.

Today we’re honoring someone truly special—our Office Manager, Dawna Matlock. 💙

Married for 49 years this February, Dawna is the proud mom of four (three girls and one boy), grandmother to five (one girl and four boys), and a great-grandma to one sweet little girl.

Family is at the center of her world—whether she’s cooking for loved ones, celebrating holidays together, singing in her church choir, or cheering on her grands at their sporting events.

At the funeral home, Dawna is the heartbeat of everything we do. She spends countless hours making sure every detail is handled with care and that every family is served with compassion and excellence. We are so grateful for her dedication, her heart, and the steady presence she brings every single day. 💐
