Cell Phones for Soldiers
We are currently participating in the Cell Phones for Soldiers drive. We are
an official drop off point for unwanted cell phones. These cell phones will be
given to soldiers overseas so they will have the ability to contact their loved
ones.

Funerals are a perfectly planned celebration of life, a
reflection of the individual—the lives they touched, the way they spent their
time, and even the music they loved. The ceremony of the funeral symbolizes the beliefs of a
culture, its hopes, its ideals, its spiritual concepts.
Just as there is complexity in life, so are there many dimensions of the modern
funeral. It generally involves religious, social, fraternal, civic and military
organizations. It is affected by local, state and federal laws and regulations.
But most importantly, the funeral is a vital part of the process by which the
bereaved begin to adjust to a way of life that has been abruptly altered.
The Funeral
-
Helps confirm the reality and finality of death.
-
Provides a climate for mourning and the expression of grief.
-
Allows the sorrows of one to become the sorrows of many.
-
Is one of the few times love is given and not expected in return.
-
Is a vehicle for the community to pay its respects.
-
Encourages the affirmation of religious faith.
-
Is a celebration of a life that has been lived as well as a sociological
statement that a death has occurred.
"A society can always be measured by the manner in which they bury their
dead."
