Welcome

Let Our Family Serve Your Family

Humbly, we believe Cress has a unique responsibility to honor the dignity of the deceased, to aid and counsel the family in time of grief, to encourage remembrance with each family within its own traditions, culture and financial means.


After a loss, each person's experience of grief is unique and personal. The support we need varies as well. In order to provide continued support, Cress has partnered with HeartLight Center to offer support groups, education, resources, and special programming related to grief and loss. At any time, we invite you, your family and friends to connect with HeartLight in a way that is meaningful.

We are honored to be a part of your journey.

Please join us for a special Holiday Remembrance Service — a time to gather together in community, honor the memory of those who have died, to find comfort and support as we journey through the holidays.


This non-secular gathering will include a brief ceremony with words of reflection, music, and candle-lighting to remember and honor your loved ones. Refreshments will be served, and there will be space to connect with others who are also navigating grief during this season.


You are welcome to bring family and friends as we come together to share light, hope, and remembrance. All are invited, and all are welcome.


The service will be live streamed if you're unable to attend in person or would like to share with others who are grieving. The video will be available at this link for 3 months. Please register for the livestream by following this link:
