    Lila, you will be missed by all who knew you. I will always remember the times we spent during my first years at CPD with the “soul patrol”. Rest In Peace

    I worked with Lila at the police department. We shared many good stories about our life experiences. She was a good person, a loyal and dependable employee at CPD, and a perfectionist who did everything right. I’m sorry she is gone. My thoughts are with the family.

Funeral Pre-Planning

Today more than ever, people are choosing to pre-plan or prepay for their own funeral arrangements. Such planning helps prevent the surviving family members from having to make arrangements on short notice, reduces emotional strain and helps to ensure that the wishes of the deceased will be respected.
