OBITUARIES GRIEF ASSISTANCE PLAN AHEAD CONTACT US HOME “Giving back is at the heart of our business’s mission. From the very beginning, we have always made giving an important part of the business” recently commented Chester French Stewart, Chairman of the French Family of Companies (FCC).  Our caring employees make up our "French Ambassadors" who volunteer in our community monthly to make a difference.  Whether it's being on a mud volleyball team to raise money for Carrie Tingley Children's Hospital, making dinner at the Ronald McDonald House, participating in the Juvenile Diabetes walk for the cure or the annual United Way campaign our employees are all heart. You will see our Ambassadors at our special events too.  French offers a rich variety of special events to touch the community -- the Tree of Remembrance ceremony each holiday season, the annual Memorial Service at Sunset Memorial Park and community grief workshops often featuring internationally known speakers like Dr. Alan Wolfelt to serve our medical and hospice community.
