About

We listen

We start by listening to you. Share the elements of a personality—favorite hobbies, devotion to a vocation, a penchant for pearls—and we will help you tell the tale of a lifetime. Imagine a silver screening of a video tribute to a cinema enthusiast, replete with red carpet arrival and tubs of buttered popcorn. Envision one last trip to the water for the coast’s biggest angler, with keepsake fishing lures for guests. Whatever your wish, our attentive funeral directors specialize in making almost any final dream come true.
