Our funeral home was honored to be part of the Wethersfield Freedom Tribute, a special event dedicated to honoring the service, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans and first responders. The event featured the American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT), including replica memorial walls bearing more than 50,000 names of America's fallen heroes, offering our community a meaningful opportunity to reflect, remember, and express gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our three associates, Roberto, Wendell and David, who are proud veterans. Thank you for your service to our country and for representing our funeral home at this meaningful event.

We also sincerely thank Cristina Orsini for your commitment to serving and supporting our veterans and first responders through your assistance with event setup and volunteering.

It was a privilege to stand alongside our community in honoring those who have served and sacrificed. May we always remember their courage, dedication, and legacy.
