During the two years we lived in Denison, Iowa, Gerard was a truly kind and incredible soul. He loved us like family and treated us as his own. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire Denison community.

As part of managing Haven of Rest and Gordon Memorial Gardens, one of the biggest parts of my job, aside from serving families who need funeral services, is updating contact information. With the recent flower removal, I realized just how outdated many of our files are. Some haven’t been updated since the 1980s.

To hopefully help speed up this process and make things easier for everyone, I’ve created an online form where you can update your current phone number, address, and any information related to your loved ones or your burial spaces. This form works whether you own spaces, have loved ones laid to rest, or both.
Once you complete the form, I will review your submission in the order that I received it and then I will personally call you to verify everything and make sure your file is fully updated.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient and kind with me during this time. Your support means more than you know, and I hope this form will help us stay connected and keep you informed about any future events or updates at the cemeteries.

Today is National Mortician Recognition Day.

Many people never see the long hours, the late-night calls, or the quiet moments spent making sure every detail is just right for a family’s final goodbye. But for those of us in this profession, it’s never just a job—it’s a commitment to serve our community with compassion, dignity, and respect.

We’re honored to do what we do at Dalton Funeral Home, and we’re grateful for all the funeral professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for families.

Thank you for trusting us during life’s most difficult moments.

I want to thank everyone for their patience and kindness during our annual flower clean‑up at Haven of Rest Memorial Park and Gordon Memorial Gardens.

We were able to complete the clean‑up at Haven of Rest, but due to the weather on 2/26/26, we were unfortunately not able to finish at Gordon. We will return to Gordon on a later date to complete the clean‑up as soon as conditions allow.

To all families, please be assured that only old, faded, or aged‑looking flowers and all Christmas decorations will be removed from Gordon. No fresh or well‑maintained items will be disturbed.
Thank you again for your kindness, understanding, and support in helping us keep our cemeteries clean and beautiful for every family who visits.

You may return any and all small tokens of love and flowers. 💛

Remember when I mailed out all those letter? 🤣Well, about half of them received a letter that said "About your mothers' account." OOPS!! I want to apologize that a lot of you guys received a letter with the wrong name on the inside. While, I appreciate you still calling and reaching out to update your files, I've enjoyed the laugh we've all had together on the phone!

As always, if you’re coming to work with Mom… you’re clocking in. There is no “field trip” energy over here. 🤣 But in all seriousness, we had fun together today and that’s what is important.

Now granted, the poor child isn’t running to the mailbox because of y’all this time… he’s running because of ME. Apparently I personally mailed out half the county in one day. 📬

At this point he’s basically my unpaid postal assistant, getting his steps in while I sit inside printing labels and taking care of my families in need.

Today was a beautiful day to give back. 💙

Chaz and Walt spent the afternoon ringing the bell for the The Salvation Army USA, proudly representing Dalton Funeral Home with smiles, warm hearts, and a little Christmas cheer. 🎄🔔

Moments like this remind us what the season is truly about: kindness, community, and helping others in their time of need. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve both inside the funeral home and out in our community with Kiwanis of Dalton.

If you’re out and about, drop a little love in the kettle.

It truly makes a difference. 💙

Even though I haven’t been at my new job for long, I want my families to always know how much I appreciate them and that I’m thinking about them long after the services are over. I never want anyone to feel like they’re “just a number” or that my care ends once the paperwork is done.

When we were in Iowa, I handmade special cards for each family as a small reminder that their loved one mattered, and that their grief was seen. I’m grateful to continue that same tradition here in Georgia.

So this Thanksgiving, I want my families to remember that gratitude and grief can share the same heart, and it’s an honor to walk alongside each family through both. 💛🌿🕊️
