Chamber Champion - Carrie Orozco

Above, Joe Pilliod of GarrisonPro presents the Chamber Champion certificate and gift card to Carrie Orozco of Serenity Funeral Home and Serenity Gardens Memorial Park.

   Carrie is currently the dedicated leader at Serenity Funeral Home and Serenity Gardens Memorial Park. Serenity Gardens Memorial Park, a beautiful 38-acre property that was once a former orange grove, offers a serene environment for remembrance. Known for its lush landscaping, stunning wildlife habitat, and peaceful 7-acre lake, Serenity Gardens Memorial Park is an inspiring place for families to come together and reflect.

    At Serenity Funeral Home, the team believes that every service should be as unique as the individual it honors. Whether it is a cremation with a mimosa toast, a traditional funeral, or a sports-themed reception, Carrie and the staff at Serenity takes pride in crafting services that reflect the personality and passions of those being remembered.

    Carrie has always been driven by a deep passion for helping others, especially in their times of need. If you need assistance planning a funeral, final placement or would like more information about Serenity’s services, do not hesitate to reach out. The team at Serenity is here to help guide you every step of the way.
