CHAMPAGNE CHAMPAGNE

Our professional staff endeavors to be helpful to the community, to provide fine facilities, to be fair and skilled in its practice of the profession, to be accessible to ever yone, and to be a good neighbor and corporate citizen. The funeral home’s motto is “Modern Traditions;” funeral traditions are steeped in ritual and time honored customs. We wish to honor, respect, and perpetuate those customs, but also make adaptations to ensure they are relevant and meaningful to our customers. If we can successfully deliver on these efforts, then we will be able to honor the lives of those who have died and ease the burden on those who mourn.

“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” ~Cesare Pavese

In Memoriam

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling ﬂight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

(Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!)

- Mary Elizabeth Frye
