🌏 The view from above, during that tragic moment frozen in time.

🕯 On this solemn day, we pause to honor the memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and to stand with the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that tragedy.

At Celestis, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit... of our shared capacity for remembrance, unity, and hope.

🌇 May we never forget.

Thank you for giving a bark-out to comfort dogs, American Funeral Director! Our Neptune Society team just celebrated the first birthday of their pup, Neptune, who has quickly developed a compassionate understanding of how to be there for people in mourning. As we know, sometimes a soft paw says more than words.🐾❤️
