We are honored to continue a legacy started 85 years ago, assisting our family, friends and neighbors in their time of need. At a time when many funeral establishments are being acquired by large, multinational conglomerates and some funeral directors are finding themselves forced into consolidating their businesses with one another, we continue to take great pride in remaining independently family owned and operated. We are accountable to you—our families, not to Wall Street or a CEO. There are times when a huge corporation or society may be the right choice. Dealing with the loss of a loved one is not one of those times.
