As the new year begins, some of the most meaningful resolutions are the quiet ones. This week on More Than a Funeral, we talk about healthcare directives, peace of mind, and how simple conversations today can spare loved ones from uncertainty tomorrow. A thoughtful start to the year. No pressure, just reflection.

As the new year begins, many of us think about resolutions that help us live better - but some of the most meaningful intentions aren't talked about very often.  In this episode we explore healthcare directives as a quiet but powerful act of ...

Another great episode just dropped. We had an informative conversation with Tracee Capron, Executive Director of HIA Hospice, formerly Hospice of the Red River Valley. She shared great information about their history and now the transition to HIA Hospice. Her dedication and commitment to serve the people of ND and MN is a reflection of the entire HIA Hospice vision. Enjoy!

HIA Health (Hearts In Action) formerly Hospice of the Red River Valley is an amazing story of vision and compassion.  In 1981, a small group of visionaries understood the value of providing end-of-life care to patients and their families, whe...

"Giving Thanks" is a special (and short) episode. We went out and simply asked people of all ages what they are thankful for. We think you will enjoy it...especially the cute kiddos! Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Korsmo Funeral and Cremation Service.

We "took to the streets" to ask the average citizen (whatever that is!?) what they are thankful for.  We compiled quite a few audio clips that reflected this season of gratitude and thanksgiving.  Some are humorous and some are a bit mor...

Excited to say we just dropped our latest podcast with Chaplain Stephen Streed, from Eventide Senior Living Communities. Steve shares his journey from his early art and graphic interests in Illinois to his current role as Senior Chaplain.

Dropping this episode a bit early. Ken Norman, Attorney (and friend) in Moorhead, sat down and offered some great (and free, as Ken notes!) basic information pertaining to estate planning. He touches on some of the more important things to consider when considering wills, healthcare directives , end of life issues, and more.

This conversation is not to be considered your own personal advice. You should pursue your own legal counsel when it comes to your estate planning, but Ken does clarify legal terms as probate, joint-tenancy, trusts, durable power of attorney and such. It can be a very confusing process but it is one that should not be ignored.

Ken will also be speaking at a free seminar Korsmo is hosting on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at the Courtyard by Marriott in Moorhead. More information on that seminar will be placed here shortly.

Ken Norman, Attorney with Norman Law Office, Ltd., of Moorhead, Minnesota spends a few minutes talking about the simple legal tools you can use to ensure your wishes are followed and to protect yourself, your assets, and your family.We inserted a ...

Tim Bauer is our most recent guest on this month's podcast. As a recently retired (but still very active) pastor, Tim shares some stories of his early years in the ministry. He concludes the conversation explaining his outdoor obsession with riding, trail-hiking and long-distance walking. We think you'll find it fascinating.

Tim Bauer has been a good friend and associate with Korsmo Funeral and Cremation Service for many years.  Tim has gradually moved into retirement but is definitely not letting the dust settle.  We visited with Tim and he filled us in on ...
