Pre-planning is something most people would say they don't do well at. Making prearrangements or talking about death is usually not a subject people want to discuss, but it is very important to know what the final steps will be for you and your loved ones. It's never too early to talk to a Funeral Director about what you want in a funeral.

After a loved one dies, should you have a funeral? Learn why we have funerals and how they can help your family.

An exciting update for our Licking County today, September 19, 2023, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) decided unanimously to inscribe the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks of Ohio to the World Heritage List. This inscription is Ohio's first and the Nation's 25th. It is a serial inscription including The Great Circle Earthworks of Newark and Heath, The Octagon Earthworks of Newark, and six other sites spanning Ross and Warren Counties. All eight newly inscribed sites, constructed by early Native Americans in the Ohio Valley between 1,600 and 2,000 years ago, are some of the finest examples of ancient human brilliance on earth. The Ohio Earthworks are now confirmed as places of outstanding universal value to humanity for today and the generations yet to experience their graceful beauty, sacred nature, geometric precision, and astronomical inspirations. Ohio's Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks now joins a list of places worldwide, such as Stonehenge, The Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Acropolis, and nearly 1,155 other sites across 167 countries.

It is a banner day for the United States, Ohio, and Licking County. We should take a moment to reflect on the magnitude of this decision and our efforts and responsibility as Licking Countians in preserving these American Indian sites of architectural genius into the future.

What Can I Say Instead of You’re in my Thoughts and Prayers?

I am so deeply sorry for your loss

I will be thinking of you and sending my love

We will miss them more than words can say

They touched our lives and so many others

Please know I’m always here for you

You aren’t alone, we are here for you whatever you may need

No words could fully express my sorrow

There is nothing more I can say than how deeply sorry I am

I love you, please accept my condolences

Nothing I can say will ease your pain, but I am forever sorry for losing someone so special

August is national “Make-A-Will” month. No matter where you are in your life journey, it’s never too early to start planning. Creating an estate plan through a will or trust makes your intentions known, while also shielding your loved ones from the stress of guessing how you want your assets distributed and how you want your final funeral arrangements carried out. It also takes the guesswork out of who will benefit from your life’s work.

Please contact Kate, our pre-need specialist, to make an appointment to discuss your funeral arrangements, e-mail: kmaher@hvstickle.com
