A monument is a lasting tribute—one that deserves time and thoughtful consideration.

Our guests come in all shapes, sizes, and even species. 🐾
A couple weeks ago we were honored to welcome a very special companion who never left their person’s side. The bond between humans and their pets is truly unconditional—and sometimes, that love needs to be present for one last goodbye.

Hello, February 🤍
A fresh month, a little more daylight, and plenty of opportunities to show care, kindness, and compassion. We’re grateful to serve our community—today and always.

As January comes to a close, we’re reminded how quickly time moves and how important it is to make the most of each day we’re given. This first month of the year has already brought moments of reflection, connection, and remembrance for many families in our community.

We’re grateful for the trust you continue to place in us to walk alongside you in life’s most meaningful moments. Whether it’s gathering to honor a loved one, beginning the preplanning process, or simply stopping in to say hello, those small interactions are what make this work so special to us.

Here’s to the rest of 2026 bringing comfort, togetherness, and peace to the families we serve. If the new year has you thinking about getting plans in place for the future, we’re always here to talk whenever you’re ready.

Two services, two crews, one ongoing debate… who’s the real “A Team”? 😄

Yesterday Joe kicked things off by sending a photo of his crew and declaring, “Here’s the A Team.” Naturally, a counter-photo followed from the rest of us claiming the exact same title.

The truth is, a little friendly competition keeps us smiling on even the busiest days. Whether it’s Joe, Tiffany and Mike, or Whitney, Matt and I, every team shows up with the same goal: taking great care of the families who trust us.

We’ll probably never settle the A Team debate… but we’ll keep having fun trying.

A nice behind-the-scenes moment: Terry showing Whitney something very important (or maybe just a funny meme 🤣). Love these candid snaps from families.
