He is also a fully licensed mortician in the State of Maryland and Delaware and a Certified Crematory Operator in the state of Maryland.
Caring for families at a difficult time is my top priority. Meeting with families and managing our staff to handle and respond to the needs of our families wants and requirements is most important. My goal is to continue what my grandfather and father started by serving all families regardless of what their financial status is, and helping them to say goodbye to their loved one in a respectful manner.
My advice to families is to plan ahead. Talk to all of your family and find out what they would like to see happen at the time of your death. Remember the funeral and the opportunity to say goodbye is for the living and not the deceased. Although this is not always a pleasant experience it is a healthy experience.

"We plan for important events of our lives; weddings, retirement, etc. Planning your funeral is just as important. It gives you and your loved ones the peace of mind that your funeral will reflect your life and wishes. It can also alleviate the financial burden that occurs when we lose a loved on. Pre-planning is the greatest gift anyone can give their family.” Kathleen meets with most of our pre-need families and sets up appointments to do on-site presentations.

Elena Judd has been a Certified Crematory Operator since November 2021.
For as long as she can remember, Elena has always had a passion for all animals, especially those in need. Coming from a dual military family, Elena has lived all over the country, which allowed her to experience an abundance of wildlife that really sparked her interest in learning about many different animals and what makes them so special. This desire drove her into various jobs within the animal industry, particularly Veterinary Medicine and Dog Training. Being in the Veterinary Field for some time, Elena really found herself; she was able to truly make a difference and help so many loving animals along the way.
Her passion for helping those in need continued to grow even stronger and that’s when she found her place as a Certified Crematory Operator. She is able to provide grieving families comfort and solace during such a tragic time, ensuring them that their loved ones are being treated with nothing but honor, dignity, compassion, and most importantly, love.
In Elena’s time off, she enjoys playing video games, training her dog Geno, or being outside trying to find all the cool bugs and snakes she can get her hands on!
