Hi, I’m Amy, the manager of Compassionate Cremation Society.

I have a passion for helping people, especially with guiding them to understand options with their end-of-life needs.

I grew up in the small town of Emmett, Idaho, just north of Boise. My mother was a schoolteacher and my dad owned his own business and drove school bus. There are so many unique hidden gems in a small town, and I definitely have some famous friends.

Shortly after graduating from high school, I joined the Oregon Army National Guard. I dabbled as a Wheel and Tank Mechanic but spent most of my time as a Recovery Specialist. My husband Scott and I relocated to his hometown of Kennewick to take advantage of all the Tri Cities has to offer. We have 2 boys, Owen and Tanner. We love being outside, bike riding, camping, riding ATVs and traveling. It is never a dull moment in our house.

Since moving to Tri Cities, I obtained my Medical Assistant Certificate and worked in an

occupational health clinic. I was approached and given an opportunity to work for Einan’s Funeral Home as a Transfer Technician. I was on call 3 to 4 nights a week, bringing loved ones, who have died, into our care. I quickly realized what a sacred and unique way this was to help people in what is often their most painful time.

This experience has been the most difficult thing that I have been a part of, but one of the most fulfilling. Assisting and guiding people through the end-of-life process is truly remarkable
