The Panciera Family has been dedicated to funeral serve since 1962. We sincerely believe that our commitment to those we serve does not end on the day of a loved one’s funeral. The survivors need care, and the nurturer needs nurturing.

• Over 20 years of involvement in the family business that includes initiating new programs such as bereavement support, pre-need development, marketing, counselor training and public relations.

• Motivational speaker encouraging children and adults to reach theie full potential on personal as well as professional level.

• Published author and much requested speaker both locally and nationally.

• Celebration of Life Services – A personalized service based on love, dignity and respect. Valeria officiates a ceremony affirming that a life has been lived and that life had meaning and value to those who survive.

We come together for a mutual purpose. We are united for a common goal. Unity provides strength. Allow us to reach out to you, as you reach out to one another
