Gone Riding by David Ritter

Don't cry for me,
I still ride free,
with the wind upon my face,
leather in black,
the sun on my back,
a priceless gift of God's grace .

I'll never grow old, on these streets of gold.
chasing a majestic sunset,
and I still recall, how I love you all,
sweet memories I won't forget.

And when your road ends,
we'll meet again, inside the Pearly Gates.
and we'll laugh awhile and go ride for miles,
but for now,
Heaven can wait.

When you do get here,
don't shed one tear,
and think that I'm in hiding.
Just search Heaven's shore, where engines roar,
and you'll find that I've gone riding

Every Goodbye is Unique

When it comes to saying farewell, there is no “one size fits all.” Families today have many meaningful options when planning a funeral or memorial:

✨ Traditional Funeral Services – A time-honored way to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

✨ Cremation Services – Can be combined with a ceremony or kept simple, offering flexibility for families.

✨ Celebrations of Life – A more personal and uplifting tribute, often centered around sharing memories, stories, and favorite things.

✨ Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals – An environmentally conscious choice, focusing on simplicity and sustainability.

No matter what feels right for you and your loved ones, our role is to provide guidance, compassion, and support every step of the way.

Because every life deserves to be honored in a way that feels personal.
