" Service of Remembrance"

Jul 05, 2008

This December we honor your loved ones that we have had the privilege of caring for over the past year. 2020 has proven to be a year like no other. It is our sincere hope that this virtual service of remembrance will bring you peace and comfort.

My name is Scott Kundinger and I am the Director of Operations for Cress. It is with humble gratitude that I am here to present this program of remembrance to you all.

It is important to us at Cress to take time to remember your loved ones. Although we are unable to be together in person for this program, we hope that you find this time to be one filled with cherished memories and love. We know that the loss of a loved one is felt more during the holidays . Throughout this year, we’ve also learned that loss without the ability to connect with family and friends makes the loss sometimes greater. We dedicate our service to the memory of your loved ones and want you to know that they live on in our hearts forever.

Please join us live on December 20, 2020 at 1:00 pm by pasting the link below to your browser. Feel free to upload a photo or share a story in the chat section of your loved one. The names of those that passed between August 11, 2019 and November 23, 2020 will be shared. Anyone is welcome to join and upload a photo to this service. The link will also be available following the service.

Happy Holidays!

Get Your Family Involved in Funeral Planning

By Darlene Kohn • 01 Apr, 2024
When death is near or has just occurred, there are so many things to do and yet there is nothing you can do. You feel helpless. You can’t make the person well or bring them back. But you know you will, very soon, need to make many decisions about the service, the final resting place, the music, food, flowers, donations, clothing and much more. Your mind is racing and oddly enough, at the same time, at a complete standstill. On one hand it feels like it is too soon to do anything. You’re just not ready. But at the same time, you feel the weight of all that is coming.

How Much Do Funerals Cost?

By Darlene Kohn • 01 Apr, 2024

Today, there was a funeral. People cried. Tissues were crumpled and left on the tables. Flower petals fell to the floor. Now, the cleaning staff is making things tidy for the family who will be here tomorrow.
