Everyone deserves a final goodbye

Donna Darby-Walthall,
Chief Financial Officer

The reaction I get from people after telling them what I do never ceases to amaze me. It either totally stops or starts the conversation. Some people are very uncomfortable with the topic. Most people are intrigued and start to ask questions. I love when others find the funeral profession interesting, because it allows me to tell my story. I get to tell them how we help families at the most difficult times of their lives.

One way that Trigard helps families honor and celebrate their loved ones' lives is with the Healing Tree®. I love this product because it makes the graveside service more personable and allows families to participate in the ceremony. Everyone gets to take home a Memory Ring® as a keepsake in remembrance of their loved one. It is a very powerful service.

This is just one way to help families remember and there are so many more. Everyone deserves a final goodbye. Let's do it the best way we know how.
