Today, we pause to remember the babies who were loved deeply, even if their time in our arms was far too short. We honor the parents, families, and loved ones who carry their memories and their love forward each day. 🕊️

For those grieving a pregnancy or infant loss, know that your baby mattered, your love matters, and you are not alone. May we continue to create space for remembrance, compassion, and understanding—and hold close the little lives that will always be part of our hearts. 💕👣

🩷 Light a candle, say their name, share a memory, or simply take a moment to remember a precious life today.

This month, we honor those who have faced breast cancer, celebrate survivors and those in remission, and remember the loved ones we’ve lost. 💗

This month reminds us of the importance of regular screenings, early detection, and supporting one another at every step of the journey.

Together, we can help spread awareness, offer encouragement, and keep hope at the heart of the conversation. 🌸

BEING FLEXIBLE WITH FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Discussions can come up at any time; on a visit during a visitation, a dedicated phone call or even at a social event. "People are very curious and interested in what options beyond the most traditional services are available in funeral planning these days. Whether Pre-planning or at-need" says Michael Gibbons of Gibbons Family Funeral Home.

Those conversations lead to options other families are choosing as the customs and traditions of visitations and services change over time. As the conversation goes on, people become more interested in any options they may have. Michael and his staff do their best to let people know that they will provide any option they possibly can to satisfy a family; be it location, music or any other service detail. Michael shares the sentiment, “We’re sending a loved one home, and we want our families to feel as comfortable as possible in the ways they choose how to do so”
At Need or Pre-plan, we’ll answer all of your questions and ensure you know every option available to honor your loved one. We are the Gibbons Family. Your neighbor and your friends, and when you need us to be, your professional directors, to guide you through the decisions that make your experience exactly what you want it to be..

This is a perfect example of one that just lies or completely misinforms.
1. I am not aware of any hospice organization that is transporting the body anywhere.
2. We do not charge for the death certificates, the county does.
3. Almost 11 years? If you check the hospices, churches or other groups I bet you can find a free meeting or two per month but sometimes it’s worth paying for something
4. Not our department at all.
5. In Illinois, social security gets notified with the filing of the death certificate. And again there is no fee for that
