The Funeral Poem

Not to be sad
For all of the wonderful
Years that we had

You gave me a smile
That no one can steal
You gave me a purpose
In life that was real..

Remember Me
To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazi...

Recuérdame

Para los vivos, me he ido,
para los afligidos, nunca regresaré,
para los enojados, fui engañado,
pero para los felices, estoy en paz,
y para los fieles, nunca me he marchado.

No puedo hablar, pero puedo escuchar.
No puedo ser visto, pero puedo ser escuchado.
As...

Junto a aguas de reposo me pastoreará.

Plan Ahead. Ease Tomorrow.

The future is uncertain—but your wishes don’t have to be. Taking the time to plan your funeral in advance isn’t about thinking of the end—it’s about caring for the people who matter most after you're gone.

When families are left without a plan, they’re often faced with difficult choices in the middle of grief. Preplanning lifts that weight, giving your loved ones clarity, comfort, and the space to simply remember.

It’s more than a checklist—it’s a lasting act of consideration. You get to decide what feels right, and they get the peace of knowing it's exactly what you wanted.

Thinking ahead now can make all the difference later.
