What families say
“Bert knew exactly which papers the VA wanted. We never waited on a single form.”
Google review, 2025
“The honors at the grave were perfect. My father would have stood up straighter.”
Family survey, 2026
Why I do this work
I folded flags for twenty years before I ever handed one to a widow. That moment is the reason I do this work.
Most veterans’ families do not know what they are owed. I make sure they get all of it.
Training & license
US Army, 1984 to 2004. Associate degree in mortuary science, 2009. Licensed funeral director in Nebraska since 2010.
