During my career, I have had the honor of providing numerous meaningful services to client families. This allowed the opportunity to assist in directing the daily operations of a 350+call/year funeral home. Organizing details and meeting the expectations of those individuals was of utmost importance. My experience further evolved by personally arranging many of these various services. I am able to complete the preparation of government documents for eligible veteran's benefits and process life insurance claims. The ability to file the necessary county and state legal documents needed for cremations, funerals and transportation of human remains out-of-state was acquired. My career responsibilities were expanded to managing all aspects of the preparation room, including the ordering and tracking of supplies. Additionally, I had the privilege of ensuring that the dressing, casketing, final placement and appearance of the deceased were satisfactory and within the necessary time constraints. These professional duties have provided me with the knowledge, skill and ability to meet unique requests from client families.
