For years, our chapel has been a space for friends and family to share stories of their loved one, celebrate their life, and honor their legacy. This is where your story can be told.

When you take the time to preplan, it gives your friends and family the space to truly celebrate you—to stand up, share stories, laugh through the tears, and remember you just the way you’d want.

Preplanning isn’t just about making decisions ahead of time. It’s about making it easier for the people you love to honor your life in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and full of love.
