Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.

This section includes information that will help provide insights necessary to help you and your family create a meaningful funeral experience that both honors the life of your loved one and starts you on the path to healing from your loss. Some of the content on these pages is adapted from a website called www.MeaningfulFunerals.com and the teachings of Dr. Alan Wolfelt, a noted grief expert.

Why it's important to have a funeral.

"It was refreshing to have a truly family-owned and operated mortuary to go to. We were treated with care and compassion and were not rushed through like a number. The process was simple and the price was certainly a welcome relief."

- L.Torres, Victorville

Veteran Benefits

Our family is honored to serve veterans and their families. There is a variety of benefits that an honorably discharged veteran (and spouse) or active duty has available.

Many say that "veterans get a free burial". We prefer to say that our veterans earned these benefits and paid dearly with sacrifice.

It is our privilege to explain these benefits to you and see to it that you recieve all the benefits that you are entitled.

"The cemetery wanted twice as much for the plot. I'm glad we were able to buy it through the mortuary. They also let us put the headstone on payments. That really helped." ~ R. Jimenez, Bloomington, California
