New York City has always been a big part of my family’s life. After my brother, Adam, at the age of 12, won a dance competition with the grand prize being dance lessons at a NYC dance studio, we were hooked. We traveled there once or twice a year for several years for both of us to take dance lessons and see Broadway shows. The last “regular” trip we made was about two weeks before the terrorist attacks - we stood on top of the Empire State Building at night and took photos of the Twin Towers. After 9/11, I’ve been back twice - once in 2007 when Ground Zero was still barricaded by chain link fence and debris was still everywhere; and just last year when we took my daughter to the city for the first time and Ground Zero is a beautiful memorial to the souls that lost their lives that horrific day. When our funeral home was called upon to serve the family of Catherine Salter, a hometown girl that tragically lost her life in the South Tower that day, there was more of a connection to the attacks, the city, and the Salter Family than most people probably realized. While I didn’t personally handle any of those arrangements as I was still in high school when it happened, I distinctly remember my dad and the hours he spent on the phone with officials in NYC and Eleanor, and we have since talked many times about the process it was to return Cathy home to Wellsville and her family. Our hearts are with the Salter Family as well as the families of the other 2,976 individuals that lost their lives that day. Please take time to remember that day in our history and NEVER FORGET.

“Just cremate me.”

Okay. I can absolutely do that.

But I want you to know something: it’s never JUST cremation to me.

“It’s just too expensive to be buried.”

I understand that. I truly do.

Whether your final decisions are driven by finances or simply by your personal wishes, you still lived a life that deserves to be remembered and honored.

I’ll help your family write an obituary that tells the story of your life. I’ll sit with them as we make arrangements, sharing memories and stories. We will remember the person you were while also honoring the wishes you made.

“I just don’t have anyone left to have services for.”

Maybe you don’t have a large family left to mourn your passing. But you have me.

And honestly, you may be surprised by how many lives you touched along the way.

When you are entrusted to my care, I will care for you just as I care for every person who comes through our doors — with dignity, compassion, and love. I will treat you as I would my own family, honored to be among the last people to care for you here on this earth.

So while you may just want to be cremated, please know that it will always be so much more than that to me.

I will forever be honored and humbled by the families who trust me with one of the most precious gifts they could ever place in my care — someone they love.
-Erin ❤️
