About this funeral home
About the business
When someone you love dies, we believe their life deserves to be honored for exactly what it was, unique, meaningful, and worthy of remembrance. Every person has a story shaped by the people they loved, the relationships they built, their strengths and vulnerabilities, and the values that mattered to them. No two lives are the same, and there is no single right way to say goodbye.
We are here to guide you through the decisions that come with loss with compassion, clarity, and care. Whether you choose a simple cremation, an intimate gathering, a traditional funeral, or a celebration filled with the things that made your person special, we will help you create something that feels right for you and your family.
Our job is not to tell you how to grieve or what a funeral should look like. Our job is to listen, explain your options, answer your questions, and make an overwhelming process feel more manageable. Together, we will create a goodbye that feels honest, meaningful and, most importantly, true to the life that was lived.
Origin story
Inclusive Funeral Care was founded by Russ Henrichsen in 2021 with a simple but meaningful goal: to provide an exceptional level of care to families navigating one of life’s most difficult moments. Russ recognized that most families are understandably underprepared for the realities and decisions that come with death, and he wanted to create an approach that felt more compassionate, personal, and affordable. From the beginning, IFC has focused on meeting families where they are, providing thoughtful guidance without unnecessary pressure or expense. At the heart of that work is a belief that continues to guide IFC today: It's not who has died. It's who has lived.
