Our exclusive AfterCare program is conducted by Donna Stutzman, a licensed social worker and licensed pastoral counselor. She is a graduate of Bowling Green State University and Andersonville Theological Seminary. She has worked in several human service agencies, and most recently, as hospice chaplain. We want every family to know that our services continue beyond the day of the funeral.
