Funeral Vehicle Accessories Security National Reports Quarterly Financial Results Security National Life Insurance Company joins Live Oak Bank’s Funeral Business Lending Program the funeral home, it offered the opportunity to be more. And now, a few tweaks later, it is a grief awareness pin. The leaf, a representation of one from our tree, now hugs a heart, much like our heart continues to be held by those we are connected to, long after they are gone. The name is now MemoriaLeaf, with a tagline of three sweet words, “My Heart Remembers”. The pin is displayed mounted on a small card bearing the poem, “Some leaves wither and drift away; others rip off in a storm. This leaf rests upon my heart, to keep your memory warm.” This offers the quiet whisper of unintentional departure, as well as the tragedy of sudden death. And the card can easily fit in the wallet to keep the poem handy when sharing the meaning of the pin. Conveniently packaged in a cellophane sleeve with a gummed closure, it’s easy to grab the quantity you need, as the family walks in the door. The packaging also makes it easy to slip one in the family bag for those family members who were not able to be present. The funeral home can also become a resource for acquiring this pin. By selling the pin to those who inquire, funeral homes can compassionately gift pins to the families they serve, cancelling the cost of having this added value. Wholesale pricing is available in quantities as low as 25, making it easy to keep pins on hand. This affordable quantity is also great for Celebrants, who want to have a take-a-way for the family. Ruthann says, “It is our sincere hope, this pin will become the ‘pink ribbon’ of remembrance; that when it is noticed, organic conversations will happen, allowing the wearer to say that person’s name, after the Oaktags Re-brands as MemoriaLeaf and Gives Back Ruthann Disotell Continued from Page B1 world fell silent.” Additionally, MemoriaLeaf has decided to offer a portion of the proceeds to three organizations who console the grieving: Good Grief (children suffering loss of a parent), The Compassionate Friends (parents and siblings suffering the loss of a child) and Alliance of Hope (family suffering loss by suicide). Disotell says, “With over 50 years in funeral service, serving the grieving still has my heart.” Creator of MemoriaLeaf, Ruthann Disotell, is a New Jersey licensed funeral director/embalmer, life celebrant and educator.

SALT LAKE CITY,UT— Security National Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: SNFCA) announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, SNFC’s pretax earnings decreased 68% from $14,677,000 in 2021 to $4,730,000 in 2022. For the sixmonths ended June 30, 2022, pretax earnings decreased 70% to $9,173,000 from $31,032,000 in 2021. Scott M. Quist, President of the Company, said, “2022 is proving to be a very challenging year for our Company given the dramatic rise in interest rates, the significant declines in the stock markets, the continuing tight labor markets, and the meteoric rise of inflationary pressures. “Our Life Insurance and Cemetery/Mortuary Segments rose to the occasion and significantly improved operational earnings. Adjusting pretax earnings to remove unrealized stock gains and losses, our Life Insurance Segment’s income is 25% above 2021 and our Cemetery Mortuary Segment’s income is 12% above 2021 levels. For all of our segments, as work volumes have increased hiring has been difficult and as work volumes have decreased inflation has significantly hampered cost reduction efforts. Many thanks are owed to our talented management and operational teams.” For more information and full results, visitwww.securitynational.com. 4hearse.com (800) 4-HEARSE Lease a New 2023 Hearse and get a FREE Funeral Caddy Memorial Carrier Buy a complete Funeral Van or Convert your own Vehicle Are We Fruit...
