Welcome

​Our Mission: 
To compassionately serve and guide families with our experience and knowledge as they honor their loved ones.

It is our honor to work with families, care for their loved ones and help them create meaningful services.

We do all of this in a unique and individualized way because every person is one-of-a-kind.

Personalized care and services are a healing beginning to the grief journey. 

Please let us know how we can meet your specific needs.

Funeral Director, Supervisor

"The experience to serve you better, the compassion to understand your needs".

 Just as every person is one-of-a-kind, grief is as unique as our fingerprints.

We are here to help you move your grief and heal in ways that are helpful to you.

Perhaps that is through being part of an education and support gathering, reading an online blog or attending a remembrance service.

Please visit our Helping Grieving Hearts Heal and Monday's Moments Gatherings & Events  page for more information about the different programs we offer.

But it hurts…differently.

There is no way to predict how you will feel.

The reactions of grief are not like recipes, with given ingredients, and certain results.

Each person mourns in a different way.

You may cry hysterically, you may remain outwardly controlled, showing little emotion.

You may lash out in anger against your family and friends, you may express your gratitude for their concern and dedication.

You may be calm one moment – in turmoil the next.

Reactions are varied and contradictory.

Grief is universal. At the same time it is extremely personal.

Heal in your own way.
