She and her husband Dirk are committed to upholding the home's tradition of dignity and respect. The facility is designed to be welcoming and accessible, featuring wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, as well as on-site parking.

The dedicated staff is available around the clock via phone or email, ensuring continuous support. The team includes experienced professionals such as office manager Valerie Killinger, office assistant Amanda Etherton, and support staff members who are actively involved in the Palmer and St. Paul communities. The funeral home emphasizes creating meaningful tributes that honor the individuality of each life. Whether assisting with immediate needs or helping families plan ahead, Greenway Funeral Home provides a safe and supportive environment during challenging times. The facility's warm atmosphere encourages healing and reflection. As part of the larger network, families also have access to the resources and history of the Jacobsen-Greenway-Dietz homes, including a combined century-long commitment to service.
