About

My passion is and always has been to help others. Although most often it is through patient, sincere and dedicated compassion while guiding people through the overwhelming maze of grief, I always look for opportunities in my daily life to support my community and fellow man. I love my work and the family connections I make when I am honored to care for those who have lost the most important person in thier life. I strive to raise the bar and exceed my expectations, making my family owned and operated funeral home the destination, and funeral home of choice, for anyone that truly needs a helping hand and a guiding heart. Sincerity in Service with Comprehensive Bereavement Care is, has always been, and always will be our mission.

    My job as funeral director and embalmer encompasses every facet of funeral service. Bringing those who have passed into our care, embalming, cosmetics, at-need arrangements, pre-need arrangements, monuments, flowers and financial statements among many others are a part of my repertoire. I have been "pastor" and lead funeral and graveside services, spoken to numerous churches and organizations on pre-arrangments and was contributing author to "Conversations in Perinatal, Neonatal and Pediatric Palliative Care".
