I don't think that it's a mistake that many of us find cemeteries as whole dark and gloomy. Tree…read moreheavy cemeteries that seem to be in perpetual shadow seem so depressing. Often the care they receive are minimal, with narrow two track dirt paths and stonework that is in disrepair and grass that has been inexpertly maintained. Which is probably why I find visiting the Fort Custer National Cemetery to pay respect to the departed heroes I have met in my life a celebration of what is good and decent about this country. The national cemetery is an amazing place that honors our deceased Vets. It is exceedingly well maintained, it is open to the sky, and it's a place that we drive to at least twice a year to remember those who have left this plane of existence and to leave stones on their graves to let others know their loved ones have not been forgotten. (And I do wish that our vets were as carefully cared for before they passed, but I suppose that's another review.)

But we don't love forever, and when…read moreour time comes we want our loved ones to celebrate our lives and their memories of us in a good place. This is such a place. I dear friend of mine lost both her parents in the same year, and both of their funerals were well handled by this facility. Recently, that same friend lost her battle with cancer, and I wound up here once again. They do a good job accommodating a large group, and we found extra comfort in petting their beautiful therapy dog on our way out (but worry a little that she might get too many treats as her treat jar is accessible to all the guests and I noticed she was getting lots of nibbles. We opted just to give her pets). I am a huge fan of the Life Story version of obituaries that's utilized by this funeral home -- so much more personal and joy-bringing than the old-school obit that's most just dates and a family tree of those left behind.

That's just one example of the effort they took to make our final goodbyes so personal and beautiful. We really could not be more grateful for Winkel Funeral Home's kindness and professionalism during this time.
