Today, on National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day, we pause to honor OUR dedicated team who work with families during some of the most difficult times. We walk alongside families everyday, offering guidance and compassion! We help families in the midst of heartbreak and we all try to find meaningful ways to honor the lives of those we have lost. We believe that being a funeral director is a calling and we do not take that honor lightly!

The work of a funeral director is quiet, selfless and often unseen, yet its impact is lasting. The National Funeral Directors Association said it best....
"We are deeply grateful for your unwavering commitment to the families and communities you serve. Your professionalism, empathy and resilience embody the very best of this profession. Thank you for the long hours, the emotional strength and the heartfelt care you bring to every family you support".

In my career as a funeral director, I have witnessed many moments that brought tears to my eyes. The loss of someone you know and love brings about so many emotions and we all deal with those emotions differently. Today I want to talk about LAUGHTER--yes, you read that correctly!

One thing I have noticed that always brings a smile to the faces of our families is when the room fills with laughter! As a storyteller myself, I have always strived to bring a story into the service that will make the family and friends smile. At a time of sadness being able to find a tiny bit of joy and laughter is one step in the grief and healing journey!

So, I have a few questions for you: Would it be ok to shift the way we all look at funerals? Can we make them more of a CELEBRATION of the life that has been lived? Would you ever be willing to share a personal story during the service? Wouldn't it be amazing to be a part of a service that brought the family and friends so much joy at such a sad time? Not anything inappropriate. Just real, heartfelt laughter that felt exactly right in that moment. These moments of laughter won't minimize the grief in the room—they just give families permission to smile, to exhale, and to remember their loved one as they truly were. Funny. Quirky. Human.

Many funeral directors quietly wrestle with the question: Is there a place for humor in a funeral service? Obviously, we don’t have to push it—or even suggest it—but when families bring it up, there’s value in supporting the idea rather than shutting it down. Sometimes it may look like writing a lighthearted obituary that reflects the personality of the deceased. Sometimes it’s offering a small, funny giveaway at the service or maybe it's the music chosen to play during the service. Maybe it's the location of the service. SIDE NOTE: we have 2 new service options coming your way in the next month--both are for outdoor services and we are excited to the be the first in the industry to offer these! The ideas that we have for our families and our funeral home are not about crossing lines—they’re about giving families permission to explore what feels authentic, meaningful, and healing for them. And occasionally, that includes one last laugh.

Thanks for reading,
Jennifer

Our Story

Year after year...in fact, for one hundred and thirty-six years, our family-owned funeral home has been privileged to serve our community in their time of loss.

Being family owned may not be important in all businesses, but when death occurs in your family, you want to know there are people who care. Not all funeral homes today are family owned. That's why we felt it important to tell you that we still are. When your family faces a crisis, we are here for you. Our staff is qualified by training, education and experience to care for your needs and provide you with the one-on-one assistance you deserve.

WE HONOR ALL BURIAL POLICIES AND PREARRANGED FUNERAL PLANS
