Choosing to preplan with an independent, family-run team means working with people who represent you — not a funeral home or corporation. Our only priority is protecting your interests. We act as your personal advocate, offering unbiased guidance, transparent education, and smart planning designed around your wishes, values, morals and budget.

Since we’re completely independent, you’re always in control. You can choose any funeral home or provider, and we’ll help you compare options so you get the best service and value — often saving thousands in the process.

We make planning easy and comfortable by meeting wherever works best for you — in the comfort of your own home, at your favorite coffee shop, virtually, or in our warm, welcoming office. Every step is relaxed, pressure-free, and guided by people who truly care.

With Elise’s professional expertise as a licensed funeral director and our team’s dedication to clarity, compassion, and organization, we handle the details so you don’t have to. Your personalized plan is presented in a beautiful, professional file — a complete record of your wishes that you’ll keep for your peace of mind. We  also provide files for your chosen funeral provider, family members, attorney, or financial planner, ensuring your arrangements are honored exactly as you intend.

Let us be your trusted funeral advocate and partner, helping you plan with confidence, comfort, and care — every step of the way.
