Today, March 11, we observe National Funeral Director & Mortician Recognition Day — and we couldn't let it pass without honoring two truly remarkable women.

Established by the U.S. Congress in 2008, this day was created to recognize the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of funeral service professionals — the people who show up for families during life's most difficult moments, often behind the scenes, with quiet strength and unwavering grace.

Today, we dedicate this recognition to our own:

🌹 Gretha Meadows Young
🌹 Anita Meadows Mitchell

Thank you for the tenderness you bring to every family you serve. Thank you for honoring lives with dignity and care. Thank you for being a steady, comforting presence when families need it most.

Your work is a calling, and we are so grateful you answered it.
