WEWILL NEVER FORGET
“We knew something was
very serious was coming in
early February when a
Doctor didn’t return our call.
It was unbelievable when it
started. We thought we had
seen everything; but no one
was prepared for this.
Our team truly stepped up.
They took care of business
and cared for one another
too.”

“Not being able to say
good-bye and celebrate
life was the most heart
retching part.”
These aren’t just onlookers
at a closed gate. They are
the grieving family who have
been shut out at the gate of
the cemetery due to Covid
19. They wept from the gate
as they watched the hearse
drive to the final resting
place of their loved one.

“Once it started the
phone just kept ringing
and ringing. And the
worst part; we couldn’t
do our jobs and help
provide closure for
those who lost loved
ones at an amazing
rate.
We had more cases in
eight weeks than we
normally have in six
months.
I was very concerned
for my staff.

“We never imagined the
amount of stress this
pandemic would put on
the funeral services
business. No one was
really prepared for it.
Our funeral business
customers are family to
us. Seeing the pressure
and stress they are going
through is painful.”
