Staff Spotlight: Ben Upton

I grew up in Hendersonville, TN, and I am the son of the late Dee and Bobby T. Upton. I attended Beech High School followed by Tennessee Technological University and Western Kentucky University where I majored in Horticulture and Turfgrass Management. After Western, I joined the United States Marine Corps where I was stationed out of Twenty-Nine Palms, CA with the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. Upon completion of my commitment, I received an Honorable Discharge. My wife Elizabeth and I have a daughter named Isabella and have lived in the Bellevue area since my return from the Marine Corps. I enjoy time with my family, playing golf, and spending time with my friends at Saint Henry Church and Post 1970 of the VFW. My faith in God and my love of Christ are the backbone for family and work. Personal Philosophy: Making funeral, cremation, or cemetery decisions does not have to be a difficult process. The advance planning process allows you to express your wishes and relieve your loved ones of this future emotional and financial burden. One of the greatest gifts we can give our family is a well thought out plan that eliminates any lingering doubts about the decisions that are not made allowing for a true celebration of life.
