I graduated in 2017 with high honors from Ivy Tech CommunityĬollege in Indianapolis with an associate degree in mortuary science. I originally wanted to become a medical surgeon but after much prayerĪnd consideration, I felt the strong calling to become a funeral director and I have always had a passion for helping others as well as being a servant I am a newly licensed funeral director, as of SeptemberĢ018, and I look to serve each of my families with the upmost respect and care. To serve our veterans with an honored last service is such a privilege. I am blessed to have a family of three children and two grandchildren and have found an even greater respect and admiration for our men and women in uniform having a son who served in the U.S. Billings’ families are cared for on an individual basis, and the celebration of a life lived is paramount to the Billings’ philosophy. Each family has specific needs and expectations, and it’s easier to fulfill their requests when you’re not restricted by corporate guidelines. This higher standard of care is much easier to achieve with a family-owned and operated funeral home rather than a larger corporation. One of the positive attributes of being a director at Billings is that we have the freedom to do whatever it takes to address the unique needs of each and every family, both emotionally and financially.
It is my calling day in and day out to be attuned to the sensitive needs of a family suffering the loss of a loved one and be responsive when they turn to us. I am originally from southeastern Indiana and have lived in Elkhart since 1990. It is hard for me to believe that more than twenty years have gone by since I became a licensed funeral director graduating from Franklin College and Mid-American College of Funeral Service after my early years at Culver Military Academy. In addition, we are so proud to be chosen a Veterans & Family Memorial Care provider to be able to serve our veterans, our heroes, is an honor! Consumers and families finally can learn first hand that there is a difference in the service we provide and they do not need to fall into the trap of traditional loyalty many funeral homes attempt to count on. We pride ourselves on being one of the most reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be much higher given our level of professionalism, the quality of our facilities, and our ethical standards. There is nothing that we won’t do to go the extra mile in providing service and treating you as we would our own family. That’s where we come in - I want Billings to be known for being fair, honest, and having a can-do attitude. People who possess conviction and a desire to remain on course.
I have one-on-one and face-to-face contact with amazing people people who are stronger than they realize. Every single day I am enriched by these life stories. What an honor and privilege I have serving my families, in the city I love, and the many neighbors and friends I care about. We become so involved at such a critical and sensitive time in people’s lives, that true friendships are formed between us all. After twenty five years, I am increasingly grateful for the new family and friends that walk through our doors. Our vision at the funeral home is to continue building lasting relationships with families. The Billings family has served the greater Elkhart community for over seventy-nine years in care-giving capacities, and we intend to continue for many years to come.
