Join us in celebrating the Funeral Directors of Ascend today on National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day

A Funeral Director's Prayer
“Lord, give me the patience needed to serve everyone as my own;
the wisdom to understand other's feelings;
the knowledge to learn as well as to instruct;
the kindness to treat everyone equally at all times;
the strength to endure long hours and hard work;
the desire to serve others as I would my own family;
the humility to accept words of thanks and praise;
the compassion to touch another's soul;
the pride and the right to smile when I have served a family well;
and Lord, most importantly the right to shed an honest tear when my heart is touched;
Lord, make me thankful that I am a Funeral Director.”

This week has been full of sweet surprises. Notably when a family marked the anniversary of the passing of their loved one by remembering us here at Ascend. Not only was this a gift of beautiful flowers, but also their loved one’s favorite vase to us!
The trust our community places in us will always be at the heart of our work.

Yummy day over here at Ascend! Cory received some delicious lemon bars from a very sweet family he’s been helping make arrangements for in advance. We’re glad the experience lead this family to being so kind in return. Treats are not expected, but we would never say no.🙂
