We believe that - through education - people can make informed choices about end-of-life services consistent with their values, life styles and financial circumstances

We believe funeral services should be simple, dignified and affordable
We believe families can make better end-of-life decisions when everyone involved is consulted
We believe people are best served by selecting a funeral home with high ethical standards and reasonable pricing for only those services required
