Flowers are an uplifting reminder of life's beauty.
Flowers also add to a memorable story. Bouquets can be arranged in teapots, watering cans, cowboy boots, coffee cups and more.

Single stems in clear glass vases set a different tone than elaborate sprays spread around a room. You might also consider alternatives to flowers, such as small saplings or baskets of fruit.

Learn about the symbolism of different funeral flowers as you're deciding. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/memorial-services/planning-a-funeral/funeral-flowers

Offering food or beverages before, during or after a funeral service is an increasingly common choice among the families we serve. They tell us that sharing a meal or toasting to their loved one’s memory brings comfort, joy and healing. Food brings people together.

It’s National Pizza Day, DeWitt! 🍕

Whether you’re grabbing a slice with family, coworkers, or friends, today is all about sharing something simple that brings people together.

Just like pizza nights, we believe connection matters. And we’re grateful to be part of this community in both everyday moments like pizza, and for life’s more meaningful ones.

Highly recommend grabbing a pizza and sharing it today from one of our local spots, including our neighbor Relli's Italian Restaurant, Peppino's Pizzeria DeWitt or Mancino's of Dewitt.

Tell us… what’s your go-to pizza topping?
