Over the past few months, we have produced several new videos on a variety of funeral-related topics. In addition to posting them here on our page, we have created a new section on our website -- Informational Videos -- where they appear. In these videos, we share answers to frequently asked questions, we take a deep dive into the topic of cremation, share the simple steps to preplan a funeral, talk about Medicaid and how preplanning helps the individual qualify for Medicaid benefits, and much more.

These videos are 100% written, produced, and recorded in-house by us alone. We promise no clickbait sensationalism. Just real, honest information.

We will be shooting more videos covering additional topics over time, but if you do not see something that you think we need to cover, we have a link on our website where you can share your ideas.

Please take a look. Oh, and share this with your family and friends. Thank you.
