Today we commemorate National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.

We are proud to acknowledge the compassionate team that serves families in our community every day. Funeral service requires dedication, patience, and a deep commitment to caring for others during life’s most difficult moments.

We are grateful for our licensed funeral directors - Joe, Bob, Lisa, Scott, and Shannon, and for our dedicated support staff - Jerry, Shamus, and Kelsey, whose work behind the scenes helps ensure every family is cared for with dignity and respect.

Thank you to all funeral professionals who serve their communities with compassion and heart.

Missing a few, but a heartfelt thank you to two of the Burns boys for working overtime to keep our funeral homes and local churches accessible and safe during the snow. Your hard work and dedication never go unnoticed, and we are so grateful. ♥️♥️

The pathways are shoveled, the parking lot has been plowed, and our campus is safe and ready to welcome everyone back!
A heartfelt thank you to Burns Funeral Home for helping keep our Saint Katherine of Siena campus, safe and accessible during the snow.

Being continually misunderstood by the public and misrepresented by the media doesn’t stop funeral professional from doing praise-worthy work every day. It is not pride or recognition that motivates funeral directors, but rather a feeling of personal fulfillment after helping someone in need. Every single day, behind the door of a funeral home, a truly beautiful moment is taking place that demonstrates the power of remembrance. Most of these moments are private, unseen by others outside of the funeral service community and the families they serve. Just because there are no images of funeral directors carrying people from a burning building does not meant that they do not rescue people in turmoil on a daily basis.
