"Taps" is played at military funerals to honor the memory of service members and to signify the end of their earthly duty. It's a solemn bugle call, deeply rooted in military tradition, that expresses gratitude and respect for the deceased.

The 24-note melody first came about during the American Civil War. In 1862, General Daniel Butterfield wanted a new call to signal “lights out.” Working with his brigade’s bugler, Oliver W. Norton, the call was revised into the more melodic and haunting sequence known today.

The call quickly spread throughout the Union and Confederate Armies. It was first played at a military funeral when it was ordered to be used instead of the traditional three-volley rifle salute to avoid alerting enemy pickets. Although its original name was “Extinguish Lights,” the call was renamed “Taps” in 1891 and soon became a formal part of American military funerals.

Today, its slow, mournful notes remain one of the most iconic and moving pieces of American military tradition.

“Mourning in our culture isn’t always easy. Normal thoughts and feelings connected to loss are typically seen as unnecessary and even shameful. Instead of encouraging mourners to express themselves, our culture’s unstated rules would have them avoid their hurt and ‘be strong.’ But grief is not a disease. Instead, it’s the normal, healthy process of embracing the mystery of the death of someone loved. If mourners see themselves as active participants in their healing, they will experience a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in life.”

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;

The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;

The Northern Lights have seen q***r sights,
But the q***rest they ever did see

Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

Robert W. Service's poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee" tells the tale of two gold miners in the Yukon and one man's "last request." The unique subject matter usually catches attention, and it’s a poem that teenagers and adults alike find interesting. As he lay dying, Sam asked his friend “to swear that, foul or fair, you'll cremate my last remains." Sam hated the cold, and he is later discovered sitting up enjoying his own cremation.

To say the least, Sam’s cremation is unusual, but the poem has a deeper meaning. Sam’s friend went through quite an ordeal to fulfill his last request, traveling through frigid temperatures until he found a suitable place to cremate his friend, for “a promise made is a debt unpaid.”

How can you ensure that your final wishes will be respected? In today’s world, you don’t need an amazing friend willing to carry you across the frozen tundra. The answer is quite simple – authorize your own cremation in advance.

Pre-planning allows you to enjoy peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be honored. We keep pre-planning simple, and we’ll help you select the options that are right for you and your family.

“When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"You’ve Just Walked on Ahead of Me"
-by Joyce Grenfell

I try and cope the best I can
But I'm missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you've just walked on ahead of me
Don't worry I'll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
