Did you know?

Casket pillows are one of the more personal floral tributes a family can choose. Usually crafted from satin and lace in the shape of a heart or cross, they're accented with fresh flowers and placed inside the casket.

While many floral arrangements are displayed during the service, casket pillows are often left with your loved one for burial or entombment, making them a lasting symbol of love, faith, and remembrance.

It's one of the many thoughtful details that can make a farewell uniquely personal.

Families are built through countless moments - big celebrations, quiet conversations, shared traditions, and everyday acts of love.

This Sons and Daughters Day, take time to celebrate those special relationships and the memories that make every family unique. A phone call, a visit, or sharing an old story can become a memory to treasure for years to come.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Sons and Daughters Day.

Funeral traditions have changed over the years.

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, cremation is expected to account for 63.4% of dispositions in 2025, with that number continuing to grow in the years ahead.

While preferences have changed, one thing hasn't:

Every family deserves the opportunity to honor their loved one in a way that reflects their life, values, and wishes.

Whether that's a traditional burial, cremation, or something uniquely personal, we're here to help families create meaningful tributes.

Can I ask you something?

Have you ever had to make a really big decision during one of the hardest weeks of your life?

Many families don't realize just how many choices come with planning a funeral until they're in the middle of it.

That's one of the reasons some people choose to plan ahead... not because they expect anything to happen soon, but because they want to make things a little easier for the people they love.

If you've ever been curious about what pre-planning actually looks like, we're always happy to answer questions. No pressure, just a conversation.

Some summer traditions change, while others are passed from one generation to the next.

Maybe it's a family picnic.
Watching fireworks together.
Picking blueberries.
A week at the lake.
Grilling hamburgers on Sunday evenings.

What summer tradition has been passed down in your family?

In 1979, Jessen Funeral Home shared a simple message:

"There are no 'after-hours' on our clock."

While much has changed over the years - including our name - one thing has remained the same: families don't experience loss on a schedule.

For generations, the team serving from our location have answered the call whenever families needed support, whether it was the middle of the night, a holiday, or an ordinary weekday.

Today, as Gorsline-Runciman Tiffany Chapel, we're honored to continue that tradition of compassionate care for the Lansing community.

We love sharing these glimpses into our chapel's history and the enduring values that continue to guide us today.

Every family has a unique story, and it is our privilege to help honor those stories with compassion, dignity, and care. We are grateful to serve this community each and every day.
