Funeral service was a natural progression following his service as a firefighter. It was an easy transition to a less physically demanding pace that has allowed him to continue to be of service during a difficult time in others’ lives. Providing families with a dependable, knowledgeable, and caring experience are the things that are important to Chris and bring him great satisfaction in service. Giving back to the community in this unique way has enabled him to develop and use skills where families depend on him to provide support and comfort through service.
