Our second Continuing Education Event for nurses, social workers, case managers, hospice workers and care givers was a huge success.

As funeral directors we have so much in common with these wonderful caregivers. Our open discussion and tour is so beneficial to us as well.

Many thanks to Mary Crowe from Care Dimensions for your help and a big round of applause to our community outreach coordinator ChristineJeseraldo for all the hard work and help in getting this event established.
