Among those who serve in this capacity are Connie Montano and Jarred Salas.  Connie has been employed by our firm since 1998 as housekeeper.  The immaculate appearance of our building is credited to her.

Jarred, on the other hand, has been in our employ since December of 2013, and oversees the setups of our graveside equipment, helping to make that portion of the service more comfortable for the families we serve.
