National Savings Day is a good reminder that planning for the future can include more than retirement accounts and rainy-day funds.
Preplanning your funeral gives you an opportunity to explore your options, make your wishes known and consider the financial side of your arrangements ahead of time, rather than leaving those decisions to your family later.

You plan ahead for the things that matter. Your final wishes can be one of them.
Ready to start the conversation? Our team is here to help.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Grief can affect so much more than our emotions. It can change the way we sleep, think, concentrate, connect with others and move through everyday life.
Today is a reminder to be patient with yourself, make space for what you’re feeling and lean on the people who care about you when you need support.

If you’ve ever walked through an older cemetery, you may have noticed that many graves are arranged with the deceased’s feet toward the east and head toward the west.

This tradition has deep roots in Christianity. Historically, graves were often positioned this way so the deceased would symbolically face the rising sun and, according to Christian tradition, be facing east at the resurrection.
The practice also gave many cemeteries a consistent layout, though burial customs vary by culture, religion, cemetery and time period.

Every life is filled with stories, the ones we’ve heard a hundred times, the ones that still make us laugh and the little moments we never want to forget.

A funeral, memorial service or celebration of life creates a place for those stories to be shared. It brings family and friends together to remember, reflect and find comfort in one another.

Because when we gather to share the stories of someone we love, we help keep their memory alive.

On this day in history, October 4, 1957: Sputnik 1 became the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth.

Its launch marked the beginning of the Space Age and changed the course of space exploration forever. Though it was only about the size of a beach ball, Sputnik’s journey around Earth was one giant step into a whole new frontier!

On this day in 1928, a little mold led to one of medicine’s biggest breakthroughs.

After returning from vacation, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming noticed that mold had contaminated one of his culture dishes and that bacteria surrounding the mold had been destroyed.

That unexpected observation led to the discovery of penicillin and helped pave the way for the development of antibiotics, transforming the treatment of bacterial infections and ultimately saving countless lives.

Sometimes, history-changing discoveries begin with something completely unexpected.
