We had a very special guest secretary visit the office today 🐾🤎

She only worked a short shift (apparently her first day was a little ruff), but brought plenty of smiles, a little extra charm at the front desk, and may have accepted a few “treat based bonuses.”

Don’t worry, she’s not going full-time(yet👀🤭)… just filling in for the day! 💼🐶

An obituary is not just a matter of putting words together it involves remembering names, correct spellings, dates, places of birth, a mother’s maiden name, work history, and other important details, many of which are also required for vital records. It can be incredibly difficult to recall every detail the way your family would want.
We encourage everyone to take a little time now to write down their wishes and important information. We also offer pre-planning books that you can take home and complete at your own pace. We can keep a copy on file so that, when the time comes, there is no uncertainty or added stress. There is no cost to speak with us.
Your wishes belong to you. Whether you have pre-arrangements that are already funded or simply have your wishes outlined, if life circumstances change or you relocate, everything can be transferred to a location that is most convenient for you and your family.
We are here to help whenever you are ready.
