People think they know you. They think they know how you're handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you're lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don't know what's going on inside your head; the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn't their fault. They just don't know. And so they pretend and they say you're doing great when you're really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.
~ William H. Woodwell Jr.
"Those we love don't go away,

Each service is unique because no two people are the same. We don't believe in cookie-cutter services because they don't fully convey how special each life truly is. Our team will work with you to make sure that every detail is the perfect representation of who your loved one was and what made them unique.
When someone passes, it’s hard to clean out their belongings. Here are a few tips to help make letting go a little easier when you’re ready.
1. Take pictures of things that aren’t practical to keep.
2. Turn a favorite shirt into a pillow, or a pile of favorite clothing into a quilt.
3. Make a scrapbook featuring your favorite memories.
4. Decide on a number of things you’ll allow yourself to keep, and part with the rest.
5. Invite family and friends over for a storytelling party.
6. Start a new tradition in their honor.
7. Repurpose or remake jewelry into pieces you’ll wear or can pass around.

When grief makes everything around you feel grey, use your family and friends as a “comfort blanket” to warm you up. They want to help and support you, so let them. Sharing tea, a simple meal, or even watching a movie together can bring you some small measure of comfort through feeling their love.

- Buy coffee for the car behind you in the drive-thru
- Put spare change into an expired parking meter
- Shovel, rake or mow for a neighbor
Now go out and spread the love!
These walls have witnessed both tears being shed and fond memories being shared. A funeral service brings a variety of sad and nostalgic emotions as families gather to say goodbye to a loved one and celebrate their life. Let our home be a place of togetherness and love as you share your goodbyes.

If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, you are familiar with grief triggers. Feelings of grief intensify during holidays and birthdays, but also can hit you when you least expect. To help, we’re sharing 5 uncommon grief triggers:
A song with significance comes on the sound system, say, as you’re getting your haircut.
You spot someone who looks like your loved one in a crowd.
You are asked to update contact information for a subscription, and see your loved one’s email or cell number.
You meet someone with the same name, age or job as your loved one.
A restaurant or store you frequented with your loved one has just closed permanently.
It’s important to remember that grief triggers are a reflection of the love and importance of your loved one’s life in yours.
Have you experienced any uncommon, unexpected grief triggers?

“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of others.....for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”

A dog can be a great teacher of life lessons. A dog taught can teach you everything you need to know. It’s okay sometimes to just eat and sleep. When you fall down, get back up, shake it off, forget about it, and go on. Be very brave no matter your size. Make your own fun. Unleash your talents. Learn new tricks no matter your age. Make new friends. Sniff out opportunities. Chase after your dreams. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. At the end of the day it is better to snuggle no matter what has happened.

Up-Hill by Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

Cicely Tyson, American actress and model, passed away last week at the age of 96.
Cicely was born in East Harlem and was a successful fashion model before beginning her acting career. Her first film role was in "Carbin Gold" in 1956. In the early 1960s, Tyson was cast in the role of Stephanie in the play, "The Blacks," which became the longest running off-Broadway non-musical of the decade. In 1972, Cicely was nominated for both an Academy Award and Golden Globe for best actress for her role of Rebecca Morgan in "Sounder." Tyson's decades long career includes roles in "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" (1977), "Roots" (1977), and "The Help" (2011), to name a few.
Although her acting career earned her many awards and nominations, she described receiving the Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama as her most important accomplishment and "the most important thing that could happen to me."
A lasting and inspiring career.
Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
We are your neighbors. You can trust us to be here for you when you need us with a gentle hand and a calming word.
Having a funeral service isn't simply to pay respects to a lost loved one. It is often the first step toward healing for yourself and your family. Let us help you craft a beautiful service to honor your loved one and start your path toward healing.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖
When someone passes, it’s hard to clean out their belongings. Here are a few tips to help make letting go a little easier when you’re ready.
1. Take pictures of things that aren’t practical to keep.
2. Turn a favorite shirt into a pillow, or a pile of favorite clothing into a quilt.
3. Make a scrapbook featuring your favorite memories.
4. Decide on a number of things you’ll allow yourself to keep, and part with the rest.
5. Invite family and friends over for a storytelling party.
6. Start a new tradition in their honor.
7. Repurpose or remake jewelry into pieces you’ll wear or can pass around.
If you find yourself alone on February 14th, the void you feel can be overwhelming. Flowers and love songs on the radio can highlight loss as easily as they can inspire love. Here are a few tips for this Valentine's Day. The holiday has changed, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't make it the best you can. Please reach out to family and friends – you may find out that they are also lonely and appreciate having your love.
