According to a Ukrainian legend, a poor mother had no decorations for her Christmas tree. While everyone was sleeping, a friendly spider spun a web to decorate the tree. On Christmas morning, the family discovered the web turned to gold and silver in the sunlight. To this day, Ukranians decorate their trees with spider webs to bring good luck and good fortune for the upcoming year.

🌟 Spotlight on Marina Sotnik 🌟
We’re honored to share a recent Google review that truly reflects Marina’s compassion and professionalism:

"One of the hardest things to do is prepare for end-of-life funeral and cemetery arrangements for a parent. I have to say that Marina made it calming for me. She went through every single detail and explained it to me. Helped me make the decision and seal the deal. She showed me the locations several times so I could be comfortable with my choice.
Thank you, Marina, for all your help on this difficult journey."

Marina’s dedication to guiding families with patience, clarity, and care is what makes her such a valued member of our team. 💙

Mourning photography, the practice of photographing the recently deceased, was very common in the 19th century, when death often occurred at home as an ordinary part of life. These photographs served as keepsakes to remember the deceased.
