In May, We Wear Green 💚

At Chiles-Laman Funeral & Cremation Services, we proudly wear green this month to honor Mental Health Awareness Month a time to shine a light on the importance of emotional well-being, healing, and support.

Today, we also enjoyed green ice cream from Pete's Ice cream in support of the cause! 💚🍦

Grief, loss, and mental health are deeply connected, and we know that healing takes time, compassion, and community. You are never alone on this journey.
