Grieving families are very vulnerable, that is why we treat their wishes as though those wishes were our very own. We give support and comfort for people at one of the hardest times and lowest points in their lives. This is where the little things mean so very much. Not everyone remembers if you provided good service, but they all remember a mistake!

Ollie Follweiler:
More than thirty years experience has taught that the hurried pace of change can be tempered with care and compassion. Ollie started in north central Florida, working for an ambulance service. He is a past vocational director of the Cocoa Beach Rotary Club, as well as, the former team leader of a Rotary group study team that traveled to New Zealand and worked a week at a time in many different funeral homes. Ollie also is a founding member of the Independent Funeral Directors of Florida, where he served for six years.

Bill Pickens:
The funeral director who helped Bill's family get through their grief after he lost his mother at a young age, left a huge impression on him. For twenty-five years now Bill has been guiding families through their own personal grief.

Charles Sikes:
A family friend introduced Charles to the profession. Then, after a chance meeting with Ollie twenty five years ago, he entered the business, and the rest is history. Independent funeral homes have a chance to reclaim industry from the large corporations, simply because, 'we do a better job for less money and we give much better personal service'.

Lamar Hudgins:
This wasn't something Lamar planned to do, it all started as a part-time job while he was at college. His experience convinced him, that he was well suited for the demands of a funeral director. After forty years it's still looking good.
