A Meaningful Conversation This Holiday Season
The holidays bring families together — sharing memories, laughter, and love around the table. They also offer a rare opportunity to talk about the things that matter most.
If you’ve never discussed your parents’ wishes for their final arrangements, consider taking time this season to listen and learn what’s important to them. These heartfelt conversations can bring peace of mind to everyone and ensure their lives are honored exactly as they wish.

Friday Funeral Fact: The Meaning of the Poppy
Each November, red poppies appear on lapels, wreaths, and memorials — a tribute that began after World War I, inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields.”
These bright flowers were the first to bloom on battlefields, symbolizing hope, renewal, and remembrance for those who gave their lives in service.

Friday Funeral Fact (Halloween Edition):
The tradition of carving jack-o’-lanterns comes from an old Irish funeral custom. Families carved turnips with frightening faces to ward off wandering spirits during Samhain, a festival marking the boundary between the living and the dead. When Irish immigrants came to America, they found pumpkins easier to carve — and a spooky new tradition was born.

As the holidays draw near, we’re reminded that the greatest gifts aren’t found under a tree — they’re the ones that bring peace of mind to those we love. Preplanning your funeral is one of the most selfless gifts you can give your family. It eases future stress, ensures your wishes are known, and allows your loved ones to focus on honoring your life rather than making difficult decisions. This season of togetherness is the perfect time to start the conversation. A gift of planning today becomes a legacy of love tomorrow.

Friday Funeral Fact:
When Pharaoh Ramses II’s mummy was flown to Paris in 1974 for preservation, Egyptian authorities issued him a passport. His occupation? “King (deceased).” The unusual document reflected the reverence still held for one of Egypt’s most legendary rulers, more than 3,000 years after his death.
