Life is made up of celebrations - birthdays, weddings, the milestones we gather for. Death is part of that same life, so why should the place we say goodbye should feel so different from the places we celebrate everything else?

That belief is why Scanlan's doesn't look like a typical funeral home - expansive windows that fill the room with natural light, a garden with a pond, a lounge where families can sit with coffee and each other, and a room where kids can just be kids.

Read our latest blog to learn more about how our funeral home is different.

There's bereavement leave for a spouse or a parent, and a clear place in the receiving line for family. But friendship doesn't come with that same built-in recognition, even when you knew someone longer, or better, than some of their relatives did.

Our latest blog looks at what it means to grieve a friend - someone you chose, who showed up for good times, the hard times, and ordinary days in between - and how to carry that loss when the people around you might not think to check in.

Grief follows love, not family titles. Read the blog - link below.

Preplanning a funeral is one of the most generous things you can do for the people you love.

Sitting down, while you're not in crisis, and making the decisions ahead of time - the kind of service you'd want, the details that matter to you, sometimes even the costs - leaves nothing left for your family to guess about during some of the hardest times of their lives.

Taking this step doesn't mean you're planning for the near future - it’s simply about giving the people you love the gift of focus on being together instead of making decisions under pressure.

If this is something you’ve been thinking about, we're here to walk you through it.
