Dear Funeral Services Industry Professionals,
When COVID 19 exploded in March, and then raged to
unthinkable death tolls over the following months, you and your
staff’s put your lives on the line for us so we could find whatever
peace we could saying good-bye to our loved ones. How can we
thank you?
We probably will never be able to do that justice. I always admired,
often with amazement, how Funeral Directors, and your staffs
served your clients and were unique leaders of your communities.
Today, that admiration has escalated beyond the point where words
cannot adequately express the gratitude, and appreciation I and my
company have for you, and what you do.
As I began building Whitmore 30 years ago, servicing the needs of
the Funeral Industry became not only the foundation of our
company, it was our heart and soul.
There is no war, natural disaster, or disease outbreak that can begin
to compare to what you have gone through with this horrific virus.
The entire industry, from Funeral Directors to Livery Services,
Casket Companies and Crematoriums, to Trade Service providers
had to do things never considered before.
In the New York Metro, the global epicenter of this pandemic,
many of you were simply overwhelmed. The number of calls and
requests for funerals and services, five to fifty times more than the
busiest of times, put you under constant pressure physically,
emotionally, mentally, and financially. Please know we recognize
and appreciate that.
Your behavior was heroic and caring, above and beyond the call of
duty.
We at Whitmore are honored to acknowledge your Courage,
Talent, and Dedication to serving us as the ultimate Last
Responders. With gratitude and admiration, thank you.
To The Last
Responders.
