About my Business:
I am an independent Funeral Planning Consultant. I hold Funeral Director and Life Insurance licenses issued by the state boards of North Carolina. I help people to be prepared by providing guaranteed pre-need funeral service agreements which are funded by life insurance issued by the Columbian Life Insurance Company. I am registered with and represent Bryan-Lee Funeral Homes. Bryan-Lee is an independent full-service firm owned by the family of Alex and Mary Lee. The Lees have a long history of providing caring and professional funeral and cremation services to the communities of Garner, Raleigh, and Angier. Former co-owners of Mitchell Funeral Home, they have operated their own business since 1977.
About Me:
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, I have lived in Boulder and Steamboat Springs, Colorado before moving to my wife's native state of North Carolina. We have lived in Chapel Hill since the Spring of 2005. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to be a full-time Dad to our boy/girl twins (born 12/25/00) for their first six years. Some of my interests are backpacking, adventure travel, music from a capella to zydeco, and environmental stewardship. We have been fortunate to be able to travel and have kayaked in the Sea of Cortez, hiked extensively in the Rocky Mountains of Northern Colorado, seen the Grand Canyon from the rim and from a raft on the Colorado River, and witnessed volcanic eruption on the big island of Hawaii. Every day above ground is a good day! I enjoyed scouting as a youth, earning the rank of Eagle. I am currently sharing the scouting experience with my son through Cub Scout Pack 825, Oconeechee Council, Orange County.
My Ideal Customer is:
Someone who sees value in working with a caring professional. My ideal clients are mature adults at or near retirement age who are motivated by a sense of responsibility and who have a desire to ease the emotional and financial burden on their surviving family or those who are planning on behalf of aging parents.
My Ideal Referral Partner is:
My ideal referral partner is someone who knows me as a trusted professional who is dedicated to helping others. Also those in roles such as elder care advisors, estate and retirement planners, or anyone who has had the unpleasant task of planning a funeral at-need.

Be prepared

No one wants to do business with me. I understand that. Because when you are doing business with me you are contemplating either your own death or the death of someone you love and care about. But those who face this reality and plan ahead make this human experience a little bit easier for their families who they leave behind. When you take the responsibility to pay for your own funeral ahead of time, you take that burden away from those you love. You can realize significant financial savings fr… Continue

Hi David - Indeed there is. I love the ritual and the honor with which we celebrate people's lives who have passed on. It feels like a real privilege to be a part of that time in someone's life. Glad to meet you!
