Have you ever wondered where the term pallbearer comes from?

The word "pall" originally referred to the decorative cloth that was draped over a casket during funeral processions. Centuries ago, the individuals chosen to accompany the casket often carried or supported the pall itself, rather than the casket.

Over time, the role evolved, and today a pallbearer is someone selected to help carry or es**rt the casket as a final act of honor, respect, and love for a family member or friend.

August is Make-A-Will Month, a reminder that planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones. While a will helps ensure your legal wishes are carried out, funeral preplanning allows you to make important personal decisions in advance, easing the burden on those you love during an already difficult time. Together, they create a thoughtful plan for the future and peace of mind for your family.
