MEET the MEMBER, Regent Eric Trimble as part of our New Chapter Series!

Mr. Trimble speaks about his life motto and treasuring life just as well as death:

I am a funeral director who has provided death-care for our community for many years.

Abraham Lincoln’s funeral was a touchstone that set the standard for funeral rituals ever since. This standard was evident with John F. Kennedy’s funeral and the many “State Funerals” which have been held to honor our national leaders. This standard has also been the benchmark for most of the families we have served as they plan their loved one’s funeral.

As changing preferences evolve in many of our social rituals, I like to remember the words of William E. Gladstone, British Prime Minister in the 19th Century:

“Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals.”
