Shaw & Sons Funeral Home

05/25/2026

Having served 2 Gold Star families, we are keenly aware that freedom is not free. We salute those who have sacrificed to secure our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, in recognition that all men (and women) are created equal.
God Bless America and all who have given their life for our great nation! We remember.

Small Business Appreciation Week means a lot to us at Shaw & Sons.
And truthfully, we have never really viewed this as simply “supporting our business.” We see it as families allowing our small-town, family-owned funeral home the honor of caring for the people they love most.
We are the people you see at the grocery store, in church, at community events, and cheering on local baseball teams. We live here, raise our families here, and serve here.
Families should feel comfortable looking beyond the sign out front and learning who is truly behind the funeral home - the people, the ownership, the values, and the reputation guiding the care of their loved one.
We will continue to openly highlight the value of local ownership, transparency, authenticity, and our passion for funeral service rooted in community... the old school way.
That trust will never be taken lightly. Thank you for continuing to believe in local, community-focused care. We're glad to be different.

This evening we celebrated our team member, Amy Eldridge Denham and her completion of all state requirements and exams to become a fully licensed Funeral Director.
Having spent her life in ministry and in service to others, she is a natural at caring for our community. At our funeral homes, we hire heart and then help coach and develop skills, because the reverse is not possible in our profession. Heart and calling matter and Amy fits in well.
Join us in congratulating her on this significant accomplishment!

We thank our community again for the confidence you place in our family and staff every year since Shaw's became locally owned again, leaving the corporate conglomerate in 2019.
We appreciate your support of our small town, locally owned, community involved, family first approach of serving you, our neighbors and friends. Our pledge to you is our continued excellence and dedication that you have voted in appreciation of. Thank you!

As we go into this Easter weekend, we are reminded of the promise of new life, even after the darker days of winter. Our family wishes you all a safe and memorable weekend, complete with family, faith, fun, and a hope-filled future.

(Featuring Ivy's cuteness for your attention and for the evidence that even in our family, new birth comes and changes lives.

On this National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day, I want to pause and actually reflect on how blessed we are to serve in such a rewarding profession.
Those of us who choose to be involved in our communities and to give back to our profession at the state level, know firsthand how rewarding this calling actually is.
And last night was incredibly special when Ivy made her debut with the Washington State Funeral Directors Association - WSFDA. The relationships that our family enjoys with our colleagues throughout this state is a testament to the blessing of shared mission and purpose.
Thank you friends, for doing life with us and serving your communities.

There’s something special about being a local, family-owned and operated funeral home and not a publicly traded corporation or jumbo multi state conglomerate. Today was one of those days that reminded me again why it matters.

Proud of our daughter, Maizie, for stepping in and helping serve with kindness, respect, and a servant’s heart.
Moments like this make me thankful that what we do isn’t just a business — it’s our family caring for other families in the communities we love.

Grateful every day to do this work, side by side with our family and incredible team. We’re so thankful for each of our staff members who show up each day to serve with excellence.

Local. Family owned. Small town. Small business.
Accessible ownership. Community first.
