ABOUT US

Melissa grew up in a small Indiana town, wanting to be the next Matlock. After graduating from Ball State University with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, she decided that was not the path she wanted anymore and looked toward obtaining her Mortuary Science degree. Melissa graduated from Ivy Tech Community College in 2011, becoming a Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer in 2012. She felt lucky because she was able to stay with Indiana Funeral Care during that journey, first as a student, then an intern, to a funeral director, and currently as the Assistant Manager.

Melissa enjoys spending time with her husband, Aaron, and 2 sons, Ean and Jackson. This typically involves football games, other school activities, and other shenanigans that the boys talk them into. She also enjoys travelling the world and trying the different foods and wines.

Nannette started out working in the travel/leisure industry and worked for one of the largest timeshare exchange companies until she was downsized out of my job following 9/11. Then, 4 months later her husband died of a heart attack. While Nannette took some time off to get herself together and decide what her next career would be, she sat down and put her preneed arrangements in place. While doing so the advisor asked her if she had gone back to work yet. She told him no and that she was looking for a job as they spoke, he asked for one of her resumes and took it back to the office with him. Nannette was called for an information meeting and that turned into an interview and she was hired. She has been working in the funeral industry now for 18 years.

Nannette’s goal is to take good care of the families that are entrusted into our care during their time of need and help them prepare in such a way that their families are not caught off guard in the future. She loves what she does!
