Retz Funeral Home

May 2012. A Month to recognize our mother’s for all they mean to us and a month in which we remember those of the Armed Forces that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our Country.

Some facts about May: May is National Brain Tumor Awareness Month, Jewish American Heritage Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, National Military Appreciation Month, Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Older Americans Month in the United States, established by John F. Kennedy in 1963, National Moving Month in the United States – recognizing America's mobile roots and kicking off the busiest moving season of the year, and May is National amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Awareness Month in the United States, to name a few.

When faced with a death a lot of people may not know what to do. This may be the first death they have had to face and arrange. Many questions arise and decisions need to be addressed in a relatively short period of time. Grief has a way of making decisions that need to be made harder and exhausting. By turning to a professional, licensed Mortician, your questions will be answered and options will be thoroughly explained and laid out in a caring, clear manner.

The staff here at Retz will assist in every step of the way to say goodbye to your loved one. Saying goodbye could mean a wide variety of ceremonies. Maybe a ‘Funeral’ is too atypical of mourning. Families may want more of a contemporary arrangement to commemorate their loved ones especially with cremation. We are now finding that remembrance ceremonies, a celebration of life ceremony, a family receiving friend’s time, or even having a good old fashioned wake with food and beverages catered is more fitting for families to say goodbye. We will make saying ‘goodbye’ to your loved one an unforgettable experience, as it should be.

We have licensed, caring, professionals answering our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for any assistance you might need when facing a death.

Sincerely,
