In their book The Good Funeral: Death, Grief, and the Community of Care, Thomas Long and Thomas Lynch say that by getting the dead where they need to go you get the living where they need to be.
Funeral home staff members help facilitate this process.
For some people, supportive gatherings help them do this.
Our Mission: To compassionately serve and guide families with our experience and knowledge as they honor their loved ones.
