Our Staff

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce Hope, a Labradoodle who joined the Singleton Family on July 14, 2017. She is a working Grief Therapy Dog and spends most of her days at the funeral home comforting families of all ages. Therapy dogs have become increasingly useful in treating physical, emotional and mental health issues and interacting with a dog has been proven to lower blood pressure and release endorphins in the body that have a calming effect on people. A gesture as simple as laying their heads on a grieving person’s lap or being there for a crying child to pet can improve the process of dealing with the emotions of grief.

We are sensitive to people with animal allergies and phobias, so Hope does not roam freely and is hypoallergenic. Typically, she may be found in the funeral home lobby greeting visitors and loves everyone she meets. It’s a soothing transference to pet an animal, almost as if a portion of a person’s grief is passed to the pet and lessens the individual’s burden for a period of time.

There is no additional cost to a family for Hope’s presence and she may be requested by a family as the funeral is planned.
