History & Staff

" I have always enjoyed helping anyone through a difficult time from an early age. Our funeral business has given me an opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people and help celebrate the life of a loved one. I have been honored to serve families in times of national tragedy (September 11th, Virginia Polytechnical Institute to Iraq and Afghanistan Wars) local tragedies and very personal losses...all of these experiences have made me the owner and director I am today and given me an acute sense of what is truly important in life: family."
