Well, today was the day I FINALLY got to meet the famous queen herself, Josey The Funeral Dog. She didn’t really know that I’ve been her biggest fan for the past 4 years or so. She sniffed and gave approval to the Reflection Stone we made for her dad and his friend Josh, to congratulate them on 100 years of business at Klecatsky & Sons Funeral Home. I told her that i used to work for them back when I was a student, but that was well before she was born.

Josey brings comfort to so many by attending visitations, memorial services and funerals. She’s an angel and I’m so happy to finally have met her!

If nobody has ever told you-grief is individual, and it is NOT linear. I'm actually not a huge fan of the 5 stages of grief as most people know it, because it sets an expectation that if you are not "going in order" you are grieving incorrectly.

When working with families, I like to advise them while all of those stages are very real feelings we can and very well may experience, they may not be in that order, they may come and go, and we may skip one altogether. I've grieved a loss where i'm experiencing 2 or 3 at one time even.

If you ever need someone to talk to, know that Craig and I are always here. Text or call anytime. Blessings!

We are so grateful to welcome Joua-owner of Ly Aurora- as our first partner, a memorial counselor. She has such a warm and compassionate heart, while also coming up with creative ideas to memorialize your loved one. She also provides beautiful floral arrangements and specialty caskets as well.

We’re excited to introduce our new Memorial Designer on our website!

This tool offers a gentle starting point for families to explore styles, shapes, and layouts and create a preliminary preview using a family name. It’s designed to help visualize ideas at your own pace — with no pressure and no obligation.

Every memorial we create is still thoughtfully guided and refined with our team, ensuring each design reflects the care, craftsmanship, and legacy it deserves.

Blessings-
Elise and Craig
