On the Cover: Celebrating Life with Eternal Hills Funeral Home

By Kristen Eleveld

Losing a loved one is never easy. And when we experience a loss, we want to ensure that we remember our loved one in the best way possible. Figuring out how to make that happen in the midst of mourning can be difficult, but that’s where the team at Eternal Hills Funeral Home in Snellville stands ready to help.

Lead by Funeral Director and General Manager Gregory Williams, the staff at Eternal Hills dedicates themselves to giving you all the resources you need and more to ensure that your loved one’s life is remembered and celebrated exactly as you hoped it would be.

“Our main goal is not to say no to a family’s request,” said Gregory, who has been in this business for twenty years. “If a family has a request, we do everything in our power to explore every avenue and make sure every option is exhausted in order to make it happen.”

This personalized approach to creating a celebration or funeral service for a loved one is one of the ways that Eternal Hills, which is part of the Dignity Memorial network, has created an environment that perfectly blends compassion, understanding, and dedication to excellent client care. The first thing Gregory and his team do is ask each family to tell them about their loved one’s life, loves, favorite things, and legacy – anything that they want others to know and remember. Then the event plan- ner uses that information to set up vignettes during the funeral service and in the reception room.

“It’s basically a visual obituary of the individual – it takes personalization to the next level,” said Gregory. “We also provide keepsakes for loved ones to help them remember their loved one going forward. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate a life and remember what was most loved about a person.”

This personalized approach is not the only way that Eternal Hills stands out. Being part of the largest funeral home network in the world means Eternal Hills has a lot of resources to offer each and every family
