INTRODUCTION
“To these brave men and women, I dedicate these Civil Service Uniform Caskets as never before has there been a casket which serves to honor their service and represent them as to how they lived. These caskets illustrate a fitting tribute to their time honored traditions of duty with courage, honor, and service. They are going to the House that Love built, and they want to go as to who they are and were for a lifetime. Their memory will be forever etched on our hearts and our souls.”
CIVIL SERVICE UNIFORM CASKETS
Our Police and Firefighters are always on the front lines every hour, of every day, serving to make us safe. They leave their homes every day for you, and me and sometimes they don’t come back: a part of America died. They are dedicated to making this a safer world and to continue doing what is required in their job. Their motto of “Loyal To Our Duty” and “To Protect and Serve” unites them not only in tragedy, but they are also united in their faith in the public they serve, and their dedication and support of each other. They will remain always at our service, and they live by their commitment to us so that we be safe and in peace. That is what they do, and that is what they are.
“The enormous gratitude that I felt for the gift of bravery and selflessness given to me at a time of my most dire need, made me just want to crawl into their strong bodies and give their hearts a big hug”.
Marianne Jordon
