Does
ownership
of a
funeral
home
really
matter?
We think so.
Each of our employees was
once part of a family-owned
funeral home. They wore
m any hats...juggled m any
tasks...had financial pressures.
Now, w ith our bigger
family, o ur em ployees have
opportunities they only
dream ed of...
• Specializing in areas they
w an t to specialize in;
• Receiving the world's m ost
professional training;
• Bringing programs to our
community to help solve
community problems;
• Offering the m ost
professional and sensitive
m aterials to help grieving
families, all available a t
no charge.
W hen the time comes to select
a funeral home, ownership
can make a difference.
