"Thank you for this honor. I would like to thank my incredible team for sharing the same passion for service as I do, the many local businesses and community members who have helped support us along the way, and most of all, thank you to my wife, Kayla, for standing beside me through everything.
At Geelan Funeral Home, your family's loved one is not just another number. We are deeply passionate and take great pride in what we do, and we truly love the families we serve.
We are grateful for the communities we serve, its businesses and members, and look forward to serving families for decades to come." -Andrew Geelan

We enjoyed hosting the Spencer Young Professionals today for their monthly Lunch Gig at our funeral home.
Andy had the opportunity to serve as the guest speaker and shared insights on:

• Not being afraid to start something new
• Building meaningful relationships
• Providing unreasonable hospitality through service

It was a great experience interacting with and engaging alongside individuals who are motivated, driven, and striving for great things. We appreciate the Spencer YP group for spending their lunch hour with us.
