Funeral directors do sacrifice life to serve you in death.  Death is “at-need”, which means that when your loved one dies, we stop what we are doing — whether it be watching our son’s baseball game, a date night with our spouse or sleeping — and we rally ourselves to serve.

This is a picture of some of the Thank You Cards we’ve received over the years.  I laid all 547 of them out on the floor to get this picture.  Each one represents a death.  Each one represents a family we’ve served.  Each one is very much a reason that keeps us getting up in the middle of the night.

My grandfather has saved many of these cards that we’ve received.  I’ll often walk into the funeral home and find him rummaging through his pile of thank you cards, reading a letter like this:

That’s what keeps us going.
