I was very excited when I stumbled onto this website. I have been assisting my family and other families with their histories for a few years now.
I grew up in a funeral home family, and my grandfather gave me a job caring for the cemeteries in our area. I quickly learned to respect and later to value a well cared for cemetery.
I became a 4th generation funeral director, and one of my jobs was to help families with their grave markers, both selection and placement.
