This month, we stand with everyone navigating the often invisible weight of depression. 💛

National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month is a time to replace stigma with understanding, and silence with conversation. It’s a reminder that depression is not a choice, a weakness, or something to “just snap out of”—it’s a real and complex condition that deserves compassion, support, and professional care.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone. Help is available, and hope is real. Let’s continue to educate ourselves, offer gentle support, and remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay.

What happens to the urn years after a loved one’s passing? It’s a question many families eventually face. 🕊️

In our latest blog and podcast episode, "The '5, 15, 50' Question: What to Do with the Urn Long-Term," we explore how decisions about a loved one’s ashes evolve over time—from the immediate comfort of keeping them close to planning a lasting legacy for future generations.

Whether you’re navigating this now or planning ahead, this resource offers gentle guidance on meaningful options like columbariums, cemetery burial, nature memorials, and more.

Tune in to the podcast and read the blog to find peace in planning.

Families' needs and decisions regarding a loved one's urn evolve over time. The best decision balances emotional needs with practical considerations across generations, with some families opting to keep a portion of ashes while placing the rest in a permanent memorial.

Navigating the paperwork after a loss can feel overwhelming, especially when you're grieving. 💙

One term you might encounter is "disposition authorization"—the legal permission needed to carry out your loved one’s final wishes. In our latest blog, "Understanding Disposition Authorization: Your Questions Answered with Care," we break down what this means, who can grant permission, and why it matters in the most compassionate way possible.

This isn’t just about paperwork; it’s about honoring a life with love and respect. If you’re supporting someone through this process or planning ahead yourself, we hope this resource brings clarity and comfort.

Disposition authorization is the legal permission needed for funeral homes or crematories to proceed with final arrangements for a deceased person.

This month, we stand for kindness, compassion, and the courage to speak up. 💙

Bullying Prevention Month is a reminder that our words and actions have a profound impact on the mental and emotional well-being of those around us—especially those who may already be carrying unseen burdens, like grief, anxiety, or loneliness.

Let’s commit to creating spaces where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. A simple act of kindness, a moment of listening, or a gesture of inclusion can be a lifeline to someone who is struggling.

Together, we can build a kinder, more compassionate world.
