Ministry in Action: MY TRAIL ENDS https://mytrailends.com
As a Licensed Funeral Director, I am blessed to have found another ‘calling’ while volunteering at our local conservation cemetery. While supporting and assisting families bury their own loved ones, I witnessed the importance of knowledgeable and compassionate funeral directors. From that experience, I chose to return to school to become a Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, in order to provide a more encompassing line of support.
However, my heart primarily remains with ‘Green Burials’ where families have the ability to have a
hands-on experience of caring for their own deceased loved ones.
