On this day and every day, we remember. We honor the integrity and courage of those who lost their lives. We will never forget.

We remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in our military

You Can't Fix Your Grief. You Can Be With It, Speak It, Wail It, Sing It, Write It, Ritualize It, Sit With It. It Is Not Something You Get Over. It Is Something You Tend To Every Single Day.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

When you need to start the preplanning conversation with your family, we are here to help!

A throwback to Christmas in 1962 at Woodfin Chapel, Smyrna.

We unveiled the oil portrait of Mr. Woodfin at our staff Christmas breakfast this morning. A big thank you to Tennessee artist Mary Miller Veazie for an incredible job capturing his personality. We will miss him this holiday season but thanks to Mary, he will be here with us.

What a unique idea! They took old forgotten jewelry from their family and created a beautiful art piece that can be hung in their family home and passed down. We love sharing these ideas on how to honor your loved one's life creatively.
