Many families ask if it’s okay to bring children to a funeral. In many cases, the answer is yes—funerals can help children begin to understand and process loss.

If you choose to bring your child, preparing them ahead of time can help. Let them know what to expect, including that people may be emotional, and encourage them to ask questions.

For very young children, the decision is personal and should be based on what you feel is best for your family. We are always here to support you.

Protecting your peace of mind after a loss. 🤍

Many families don't know that you can drastically reduce unwanted mail, emails, and marketing calls for a deceased loved one. The Deceased Do Not Contact List (DDNCL) is a free registry that tells companies to remove a loved one's details from their marketing campaigns.

It’s a small step that can save a lot of emotional energy.It’s a hidden gem of consumer privacy that most people only discover when they need it most. The Deceased Do Not Contact List helps protect your loved one’s identity and stops painful reminders from cluttering your mailbox.

Pass this along to anyone who might be navigating the paperwork and logistics of losing a family member.
