When someone dies, their family is always surprised, as well as comforted by the number of distant family, old friends, acquaintances and business associates who come to the funeral. It is truly an inspiration to see at the end of someone’s life, the countless number of lives that the deceased has personally touched.

This is why Teresa V. Kowalski of the Kowalski Funeral Home believes that with proper planning, a funeral can be many things. A time to grieve and shed tears. A time to laugh and share memories of days gone by. A time to draw closer to those whose everyday lives are complicated and busy. A time to remember to love.
