If I may assist you please don't hesitate to ask.

If I made a mistake on your memorial please inform me and I will correct as soon as possible.

If you would like for me to transplant flowers from my garden to your loved ones, please let me know.

As I am searching for your loved one, please tell me how you are related, I would love to hear it....I like bringing family together. Also, if you ask the Wyoming office (email Pisacreta, Angela or (781) 665-0405) for the location (section and lot #) of the headstone / flat marker (indicate adjacent marked headstones, if possible), please let me know or include it in your request.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you. Have a great and productive day!

Epitaph - the Poem
Every once in a while, a poem or song is so well constructed, so clearly conveys the authors meaning and is so precisely expressive that it becomes something of an anthem. The poem below, Epitaph, was written by Merrit Malloy and as one of those poems, has become a staple of funeral and memorial services…for good reason.

Epitaph
By Merrit Malloy

When I die
Give what's left of me away
To children
And old me that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me,
Put your arms
Around anyone
And give them
What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or sounds.

Look for me
In the people I've known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on in your eyes
And not your mind.

You can love me most
By letting
Hands touch hands,
By letting bodies touch bodies,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.

Love doesn't die,
People do.
So, when all that's left of me
Is love,
Give me away.
