Manager - Senior Funeral Director
darren@allenbrothersmortuary.com

I originally joined the Allen Brothers family as a part-time office assistant and then became a full-time Mortuary Assistant.  I found helping families to be such a positive experience that I then become an Arrangement Counselor.

Now, as a Licensed Funeral Director, I continue to look forward to every day as a new opportunity to help families say goodbye to a loved one in a special way which helps bring peace of mind. 

Senior Funeral Director ~ Embalmer

Since a very early age, I have always been interested in working with families and making sure that their loved one's wishes are carried out.  As an embalmer as well, I look forward to presenting a loved one with a pleasant and memorable final farewell.

After working in a large funeral home chain for more than 10 years, I have found it to be a very pleasant and positive experience working at Allen Brothers; each employee is treated like a family member.

With every family, I believe in treating each person as if they are a member of my own family and making sure that everything I do is to make sure their family's loss is just a little bit easier.

I find it rewarding to be able to help people work through the details during this time of grief and loss. Everybody is unique in their own way of preparing for this day, but many are still caught off guard. I feel that's a big reason why we are here to help.

Arrangement Counselor

I started as a Mortuary Assistant with Allen Brothers initially because I wanted a chance to make a difference to help those going through the most difficult time in their lives. As an arrangement Counselor, I love having the chance to be beside our families from the beginning of the process to the end of their services. Giving them a familiar face throughout has made a huge difference.
