Jane L. Criswell-Rickman, Poet

I believe that words are often the most meaningful and the most remembered part of someone's life. I can make remembering your loved one a little more special by providing you with a custom made poem to fit your specific needs. It is with great pride that we honor our Military and Veterans for literally putting their lives on the line for every one of us. Freedom comes with a price and thank God that we have faithful, determined and brave individuals who believe in the United State of America and everything we stand for. With just a little background information from you, I can create a special memorial for your loved one. I write with much passion and consider by writing abilities to be a gift from God. It brings me great enjoyment to be able to hear my customers say "it is like you where there". From weddings to funerals or just because, let me help express your love and make memories to last a lifetime. If you would like more information, please contact me at janelcris@aol.com

Browse their Family Funeral Flowers online for casket sprays and family floral tributes, or select from their Sympathy Flowers favorites to send your heartfelt condolences and support. Then, order online to automatically receive $5 OFF every delivery in the USA and Canada. A portion of each order will also be donated to charity in support of our fellow veterans.

Keepsake Floral preserves the actual flowers used in sympathy and memorial tributes from the funeral service, pairing them with other memorabilia that you provide. We’ll create a piece of custom, personalized artwork that will become an heirloom enjoyed by friends and family for years to come.

The mission of Project Compassion is to reach the family of every fallen American in uniform since September 11, 2001 for the sole purpose of giving them an opportunity to request an heirloom quality tribute to their hero.

Remembering a life lived in a meaningful manner is an important part of funeral etiquette, the funeral process and is critical to the grieving process for everyone. The Forever Wildflowers, the wildflower seeds concept was created to provide families, friends and associates a means to honor a life lived for years to come.
