To all the families we have served over the years, and to those who will choose us in the future,
Thank you.
Thank you for trusting us in some of the hardest moments of your lives. The relationships, the connections, and the bonds we’ve built with you all mean more to us than words can explain.
Because of you, we continue to grow and push ourselves to serve in the best way possible.
As we remodel our main location to better serve our families, please know we are still here. Our temporary location is inside JMD Construction at:
1357 Richard Gordon Hatcher Blvd
Gary, Indiana
Our phone number remains the same
219 885 5529
While our chapel is unavailable, we have a local church available for services with seating up to 300.
We are still here. We are still serving. And we are grateful for each and every family that has allowed us to walk alongside them.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2

Most people won’t understand this moment…
until it’s them.
Until it’s their grandmother…
their father…
their mother…
their person…
their safe place…
their heart laying right in front of them.
Until the one who prayed for you…
loved you…
and showed up for you in ways nobody else could…
is the one you have to let go of.
This isn’t just a goodbye.
This is someone trying to hold on…
to every hug…
every laugh…
every memory…
to a lifetime that’s slipping away in seconds.
Trying to be strong…
while breaking at the same time.
And in that moment…
nothing else matters.
Not the room.
Not the people.
Not the world outside.
Just love…
and the weight of having to let it go.

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves the little children
Of the world

Today was different for them.
Taelyn and Taleesha had the honor of rendering services for their sister’s mother. When they say sister, they are not speaking by blood, but by a bond.
She is someone God placed in their lives who became family through love, loyalty, and shared life. That kind of connection runs just as deep.
So serving her mother was not just what they do, it was personal.
Every detail was handled with love, care, and intention because that is what family deserves.
It was truly an honor for them to serve her family.
“Let Our Family Care For Your Family.”
