One of the favorite faces of Thelen Funeral Services is our grief therapy dog, Arianna. Ari acts as a calming presence for grieving families. Research shows that dogs act as mood boosters to those they are around. We can certainly say Ari has boosted the mood of those who need her on multiple occasions. Ari spilts her therapy duties between Thelen Funeral Services and Thelen and Associates and we are grateful for our "Ari days". Stop in today to visit with Ari and start the planning process!

We found a phenomenal research article about the benefits of grief therapy dogs that we are sharing here with you!
