Reconstructive Surgery Specialist
(Featuring Dinair Airbrush Technology)
In high school Josh worked for a funeral home in Florida and began his journey in the preparation room. Many times he would have a case where the deceased had suffered severe trauma and he would hear the funeral director say to the family “there will be a closed casket and to just remember the good times.” Since then, Josh has become a licensed funeral director and embalmer, but those words have haunted him. He knew there had to be a solution so families could say their goodbyes.
In 2002 Josh found a school that specializes in these procedures and application of airbrush technology. After graduation from this trauma school he marketed himself to funeral homes around the state and has been very successful fulfilling this special need. Coffman Funeral Home & Crematory takes great pride in the funeral services they can provide. Josh has spent a large portion of time in continuing education to provide the very best level of service for families that are served by Coffman. If you are seeking a funeral home that provides exceptional service, compassion and someone who takes great pride in the appearance of your loved one, Coffman Funeral Home & Crematory is the answer.
