Happy Pi Day! (3.14)

Pi represents a mathematical constant used to measure circles — shapes that have no beginning and no end.

In many cultures, the circle symbolizes eternity, continuity, and the lasting impact of a life well lived.

At Dignity Memorial®, we are honored to help families create meaningful tributes that celebrate lives and legacies that continue to shape those who loved them.

Today we celebrate the beauty of memories that come full circle.

Funeral Fact Friday

Ever wondered why funeral vehicles are called hearses?

The word comes from the Latin word “herpex,” meaning harrow, because early funeral platforms resembled the farming tool used to spread straw. Over time, these platforms evolved into the elegant vehicles we see today leading funeral processions.

Today, the hearse continues to symbolize respect, dignity, and the final journey of a loved one.

🚗 Have you ever seen a horse-drawn hearse at a funeral or historical ceremony?
