In Loving Memory

One night a man had a dream.He dreamed he was walking along the
beach with the Lord.Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.When the last scene of his life flashed before him,he looked back at the footprints in the sand.He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it."Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you,You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."The Lord replied,"My son, My precious child, I love you and I wouldnever leave you. During your times of trial andsuffering, when you see only one set of footprints,it was then that I Carried You."

Mission Mortuary - Monterey
Being centrally located on the Monterey Peninsula and adjacent to the San Carlos and Monterey City Cemeteries, Mission Mortuary has been the premier funeral home choice for Monterey and the entire Monterey Bay Peninsula for many years. Mission Mortuary opened its doors in 1946 at a location on Munras Avenue in Monterey and moved to our current location on Camino El Estero in 1952. While times certainly have changed, Mission Mortuary has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of our families....
