As many in our community get ready to travel for the winter, we want to share an important resource for peace of mind.

We offer Away From Home Assurance through Sepio Guard. If a death occurs 75 miles or more from home, this plan covers all costs and arrangements needed to bring your loved one back to their local funeral home. This includes transportation, required permits, and coordination with local officials.

For snowbirds and frequent travelers, it’s a simple way to make sure you’re always protected, no matter where you go.

If you’d like more information, please reach out. We are here to help. https://bit.ly/2HK1flk

Hearing the word hospice can feel overwhelming, but it is really about comfort and support for both your loved one and your family. Hospice focuses on dignity, meaningful moments, and making sure every wish is respected.

Having plans in place before that time arrives can bring a sense of peace and direction when it is needed most.

Learn how advance planning can help your family feel supported through each step:

Burial or Cremation? Let’s Chat.

Green burial offers a final act of kindness to the environment. It reduces impact, protects natural spaces, and allows your resting place to support new growth. It is a legacy that continues long after the service is over.

Green burial is becoming a choice for families who want something natural, simple, and environmentally responsible. It focuses on returning to the earth without chemicals or heavy materials, using biodegradable caskets or shrouds and choosing natural markers that blend into the landscape.

Many people appreciate that the setting feels open and peaceful, with trees, grass, and wildlife instead of traditional structures. It is a practical option that reduces environmental impact while still offering a meaningful place for loved ones to visit.

If you have ever wondered how natural burial works or whether it might be right for your family, we are here to answer questions and walk you through the options.
