Some families are adding something unexpected to headstones...and it's changing how we connect with the people we've lost.

It's not what you'd think. But once you hear about it, it makes perfect sense.

Growing up in a funeral home wasn't typical—but it taught me everything about showing up for people.

My dad showed me that listening matters more than having all the answers. That small gestures carry families through impossible days. That this work is about love, not logistics.

January is National Mentoring Month, and I'm grateful for the quiet lessons passed down through our family—the kind you can't learn anywhere else.

What's one lesson someone taught you that still guides you today?

There are a few monument rules most families don't know about until they're making these decisions.

We cover this (and so much more) in this podcast.

You can’t stop it from showing up.

Grief doesn’t disappear—it’s in the corner, quietly doing push-ups, waiting for the next quiet moment to remind you it’s still there.

You can’t stop it from showing up—but you can build your strength, too.
Talk about it. Feel it. Honor it.
Because every time you do, your heart learns how to carry it with a little more grace.

Some years begin with hope. Some begin with grief.

Both are okay.

If this January feels heavy, know that you don't have to carry it alone. There's no timeline for healing, no pressure to start fresh if you're not ready.

We're here—for the questions, the quiet moments, and everything in between.

Here's to a year of gentle grace. 🤍

We often think cemeteries are places of loss—but they’re really places of love.
Every name tells a story, every visit keeps a promise. Sometimes, the quietest places hold the loudest reminders of what matters most.

Save to revisit on a day you need it most.

Workout with me.

The reps of healing look like tears, memories, and moments of courage you didn’t know you had. That’s the muscle you’re building. Grief isn’t a weakness—it’s resistance training for the soul.

This Vietnam Era Veteran didn't expect his small town to do this

Pat Chouinard, our maintenance man, Vietnam veteran, and the smile we're always happy to see. He grew up in a tiny Wisconsin town that went the extra mile to honor its veterans. This mural isn't just paint on a wall. It's a community saying: We see you. We remember.

Pat works hard every day, keeps our doors open, and carries his service with quiet pride.

Today, we want to say thank you, and not just for what you do here, but for what you've done for all of us.

We're proud to call you family, Pat.
