The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Mathew 28: 5-7

GOOD FRIDAY TO YOU!

We hope you take time today to reflect on the deep meaning of Good Friday. The finished work on the cross.

But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:5-6

April is NATIONAL GARDEN MONTH.

It's time to get out there and play in the dirt! Working in nature can really boost your mood and help you clear your mind of all of those things that weigh you down. When you're done, you get to reap the reward for hours of hard work.

A tribute video is more than a collection of photos—it is a beautiful way to celebrate a life well lived.

These meaningful videos help tell the story of someone deeply loved, offering comfort, connection, and a space for healing during difficult moments.

At Burckhalter-Highsmith Funeral Home, we thoughtfully create each tribute with care and compassion. With years of experience serving families, we carefully bring together your treasured photos and chosen music to create a meaningful reflection of your loved one’s unique life and legacy.

Happy first day of spring! We hope you get to go outside and enjoy some fresh air. It has been a long winter, and you deserve it!
Unfortunatly today’s weather sounds more like summer than spring.
