The Church Ladies Ministry: Another COVID Casualty
Bob Devening, the founder of Crystal Rose-Bo’ Floral in Crystal, died this week. Bob was the classic florist, meticulously creating every order for his customers. Bob was one of our main florists here for decades and we could always rely on fresh flowers, delivered in a timely manner, that lasted for many days. His obituary appears below telling his life story. He will be missed.

We recently acquired three new vehicles, 2 Cadillac hearses, as well as a Lincoln funeral coach!
One thing you may not know about hearses is that they are not made by car manufacturers; but rather custom built by a "coach company". These companies purchase a "base" vehicle, and then build a hearse from it! For example, our Cadillac hearses are built from a standard 2020 Cadillac XT5.

Home Hospice: A Calm and Peaceful Exit
The Funeral Foundation has partnered with renowned grief specialists Drs. Sara Murphy and Alan Wolfelt to create "Grieving Alone & Together", a guide for families who are grieving the loss of a loved one during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This guide is meant to aid families in finding ways to manage their grief, and help them find meaningful ways to help honor and memorialize their loved ones in these unprecedented times of gathering restrictions and social distancing.
