GIVING THANKS Thanksgiving Day brings to mind the daily blessings in our lives that we sometimes take for granted: a home that provides us with comfort, clothes to keep us warm, food to eat and share, the freedoms secured by our military men and women here and abroad, and our ability to help our neighbors and community. Most of all we are thankful for our family and friends ~ those treasured people who make our lives extra special in so many ways.... Today we acknowledge all the blessings in our life, big and small, and we may forever be grateful for them all. Happy Thanksgiving!

Do your loved ones know your wishes? Of all the things you discuss with your family, your last wishes could be one of the most vital and important decisions you share. The emotional stress of arranging a funeral within days of losing a loved one can be overwhelming. Perhaps the greatest gift each of us can give our family is to relieve them of this burden by pre-planning our own funeral.... Preplanning allows your family to focus on the loving memories of your life rather than the details of your death. Call us for a no-obligation appointment. We’ll answer all your questions and help you and your family through the preplanning process.

A Tribute to Our Veterans In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in World War I. Our U.S. Veterans Day coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Today this legal holiday is dedicated to American veterans of all wars and is a... time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. Thank you!

IT’S TIME TO FALL BACK & PLAN This Sunday, we come to the end of Daylight Saving Time. With an extra hour in the day - and winter on the way - it's a good time to do a run through on your seasonal home preparedness checklist! Change your clocks AND change the batteries in your smoke detectors and your carbon monoxide detectors - they can help save lives!... Prepare for cold and flu season. Cold weather is coming and so are colds and the flu. Have you gotten your flu shot? Check your medicine cabinet - Has the thermometer gone missing? Do you have sufficient fever reducers, cough syrup, and decongestants needed to fight colds or flu? Review your family's emergency plan, or create one for the first time. Update phone numbers, addresses and contact information, and post your Emergency Information Page on the refrigerator. Crisp temperatures and crunchy leaves are on their way. The staff at Allen Brothers wish you a safe and colorful autumn!

JUST ONE PHONE CALL... When a loved one dies, all you need to do is make one phone call. From that moment on, we'll take on the responsibilities for the physical care of your loved one and the emotional care of those left behind. The overwhelming feelings of despair, shock and numbness caused by the passing of a loved one cannot be conveyed by mere words. Even when the death is expected, the pain that loss brings can still be truly devastating. No one is completely prepared... for the death of someone close to their heart. And then there are all the decisions that must be made in a very short time. We understand how this may feel overwhelming, especially with the grief you're feeling over the loss. Please know that we are here to help and support you through these difficult days. You'll never get an answering service staffed by far-away strangers. Your calls are answered by our staff 24 hours a day, every day because we know you need answers now, not the next day. We're just a call away and we’re here to help.
