🌿 Planning Ahead Means Peace of Mind 🌿

As a Family Service Counselor with over 15 years of expertise in financial and funeral planning, I’ve walked alongside countless families during some of life’s most difficult moments. One thing I’ve learned: planning ahead makes all the difference.

👉 What does a Funeral Planner do?

Helps you design a service that reflects your life, values, and wishes.

Ensures your loved ones aren’t left with stressful financial or emotional decisions.

Coordinates with cemeteries, funeral homes, and benefits programs—including veterans’ honors and life insurance options.

Provides guidance on funding options that protect your family and your legacy.

For seniors and veterans, pre-planning isn’t just about arrangements—it’s about peace of mind, dignity, and making sure your benefits and honors are fully recognized.

✨ Don’t wait for tomorrow. Take control today. ✨

On June 19th we took our 1951 Cadillac Superior hearse to have her rebuilt motor installed. Things are moving along. We have more work to do to get her roadworthy and are making great progress.

She is a 1951 Cadillac Superior Hearse. We have been steadily working on her for the past 6 years. Way back in 1971 she broke down and my Dad parked her. Special thanks to Trevor at Nisqually Towing. He is taking her to get her rebuilt motor installed. Soon she will be put back into the fleet to serve our client families.

To follow up the last post here is a video of the 155 gallon aquarium. It has a variety of cichlids and white skirt tetras.

Over the past year we have had two large aquariums. We installed these to provide a welcome distraction to anyone entering the funeral home. Many visitors spend time with the aquariums, so we decided to upgrade to a larger 300 gallon tank in the lobby. We also have a 125 and 155 gallon in the arrangement rooms. Here is a video of the 300 gallon aquarium. It has Ghost Knife, Dinosaur Bichir, Angel fish, Severums and more.
