Reassured Advocacy

We provide healthcare advocacy services in Denver, Colorado, for patients, families, and caregivers who need help navigating the complex healthcare system. Unlike advocates or navigators employed by insurance companies or hospitals, we work for you, assisting with coordination, communication, and problem-solving.

One of the most important services a patient advocate can provide is representing the patient’s perspective. It takes training and compassion to understand and communicate the patient experience, to personalize interactions, to know what to ask when, and to never compromise personal dignity. It takes a partnership, and that is our commitment.

When death is accepted as a natural part of life, hope changes but does not disappear. A person faced with serious, life-limiting, or terminal illness need not stop reaching for wishes and dreams.

Glass Remembrance

Leatrice Guttentag, the founder of Glass Remembrance, moved from New Jersey to Ohio after September 11, 2001. On that day, she had been working in her office, in the computer industry, on the 80th floor of the north tower. She escaped just minutes before the building collapsed. Her job was gone, but she reassessed her life and returned to her love of art.

Art was therapeutic and helped console her after losing many friends. Her dog Dozer, sensing her sadness, was a major comfort, providing Lee with unlimited love. After Dozer’s passing, Lee sought a way to save Dozer’s cremains in a beautiful piece of glass art that would honor her beloved friend, and so “Glass Remembrance” was born.

'Glass Remembrances' are created by glass artists who create a work of art that contains a small portion of the actual cremains of your loved one and keepsakes that encase jewelry, flowers, and other memories. In today's highly mobile society, people can be separated from a dear friend's resting place. We create portable tributes that can always be part of your life.

Handling a person's cremains is a huge responsibility. All of the cremains are handled separately; hand sifted and used individually in each piece of glass, creating a permanent work of art. All of our tributes are handmade in the USA and individually signed by the artist. 'Glass Remembrances' are the perfect gift, display, or remembrance of a loved one to bring the continued comfort of keeping that loved one eternally near.

All of our work is custom-made to your order; therefore, please allow us sufficient working time to create your glass memorial, especially during the holiday season. On average, allow 5-6 weeks for delivery.

Heartsong Memory Beads

We offer cremation glass memorial jewelry by Artist Dolly Libby. The beautiful lampwork glass beads are handmade in our studio with compassion. A small amount of cremated remains is infused into the molten glass as it is wound on the mandrel, creating a beautiful piece of memorial art as unique as your loved one. Each piece is individually commissioned and created.

Homeward Bound Aerial Scattering

Homeward Bound has been a family-owned business here in Colorado since 1993. We offer the premier in aerial scattering. As a family business, we strive to provide a personal service that brings dignity, grace, and respect to the final journey of a loved one. Our purpose is to help in the bereavement process, creating a lasting memorial to loved ones by professionally scattering ashes from an airplane. This helps to bring closure and peace of mind to family and friends. The airborne release of cremated remains is an elegant way to pay tribute and celebrate a life. The flight can be made either during or after the memorial service. In many cases, the mission is flown later, when it is convenient for friends and family to be present.

Red Manx Studio

Keep the cherished memories of your loved one alive and close to your heart while preserving their cremains in a beautiful piece of blown glass by an artist in Greeley, Colorado. The Ash Art line offers styles that are timeless and versatile. The art that is created specifically for you will truly be one of a kind!

Children's Hospital Colorado

When it was founded in 1908 in Denver, Children's Colorado set out to be a leader in providing the best healthcare outcomes for children. That calling has consistently made us one of the top children's hospitals in the nation and a place parents across the Rocky Mountain region have come to trust.

Our modern-day mission is to improve the health of children through the provision of high-quality coordinated programs of patient care, education, research, and advocacy.

In addition to providing the best possible care for kids who need it, we also work hard to keep kids out of the hospital. Through medical research and advocacy efforts, we are working towards a world where kids are safer and healthier and will one day have less need for a hospital.

Patient care
As a private, nonprofit pediatric healthcare network, Children's Colorado is 100% dedicated to caring for kids at all ages and stages of growth. We have more than 3,000 pediatric specialists and more than 5,000 full-time employees helping to carry out our mission.

We provide comprehensive pediatric care at our hospital on the Anschutz Medical Campus and at several locations throughout the region.

No matter which location you visit, you'll receive the best possible care for your kids with our specially trained staff and facilities designed just for kids. Unlike other hospitals and urgent care locations, we partner with your child's pediatrician or your family doctor to make sure you receive integrated care.

Children's Colorado is the only dedicated Level 1 trauma center in our seven-state region, handling the most challenging emergencies. We offer emergency and urgent care at multiple locations as well as numerous specialty care centers and clinics.

In addition to these locations, we bring our expertise to doctors and families throughout the Rocky Mountain region with more than 400 outreach clinics every year.

Ongoing doctor education
Children's Colorado is committed to providing continuing educational opportunities that will enhance and advance the pediatric knowledge and clinical skills of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals across the region. These educational topics range from primary care to critical care and are available in-person and online. This is our way of ensuring kids across the region have access to up-to-date techniques and treatment for kids.

Cutting-edge pediatric research
We are at the forefront of research in childhood disease with several nationally and internationally recognized medical and surgical programs. Together, with our partners, we are responsible for virtually all of the pediatric research published in the Rocky Mountain region for at least a decade. We are always striving to find new and better ways to cure kids, so you can be sure you are receiving the best care for your child at our facilities.

Children's health policy advocacy
Our clinical work may be the most visible part of our mission, but advocacy is just as important. Advocacy is how we influence decisions relating to children's health policy issues, such as injury prevention and access to quality care.

Children's Colorado's advocacy efforts expand into communities across Colorado and are aimed at making sure that kids' concerns are always heard when public policies are made.

From providing immunizations and car seat checks, our goal is to help keep kids healthy and out of the hospital. We envision a world where no child needs a hospital. Until we make that happen, we're here for your kids.

Dumb Friends League Denver

We provide life-changing services for homeless pets and horses that come to our shelters every day – animals who arrive in need of medical treatment, behavior training, foster care, and the opportunity to find loving homes.

Working with our compassionate community, we will end pet homelessness and animal suffering. The Dumb Friends League is an independent, local, nonprofit organization. We are not an affiliate of any national animal welfare organization.

Honor Bell Foundation

The Honor Bell Foundation’s mission is to create a community of veterans to foster public appreciation of military service and honor their fellow veterans with a proper, final tribute.

Honor Bell Foundation, Inc. is a Colorado nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation based in Denver. Its primary purpose is to provide a unique funeral honor for deceased military veterans through the slow ringing, known as tolling, of a ceremonial bell. The foundation also provides veteran outreach and community education.

To accomplish this mission, the Foundation produced the Honor Bell and renders “Bell Honors” at the funerals of U.S. military veterans and personnel killed in action to augment the dignity and respect that should be paid to those who have served our nation.

In addition, the bell attends public events with a military or patriotic theme and tolls in a memorial capacity. The foundation’s volunteers also attend programs in schools to educate young people about the significance of dignity, honor, and respect owed to our military and fallen heroes.

St. Jude

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder, Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

Wounded Warrior Project

Every warrior has a next mission. We know that the transition to civilian life is a journey. And for every warrior, family member, and caregiver, that journey looks different.

We are here for their first step, and each step that follows. Because we believe that every warrior should have a positive future to look forward to. There’s always another goal to achieve, another mission to discover. We are their partner in that mission.

Littleton Cemetery 

Caretakers at the Littleton Cemetery believe that unofficial burials began there before the first records were kept and, in fact, before it was a designated burial ground. Numbered interments in the record books begin in 1869. Some of the land was once part of Judge Lewis B. Ames' farm. Richard Little also donated some acreage when he platted the town of Littleton in 1872. In 1875, Ames deeded the cemetery to the local Weston Masonic Lodge. A history of the Lodge says that the plat was drawn by their secretary, Charles Comstock.

The cemetery belonged to the Lodge for about thirteen years before they deeded it to the Littleton Cemetery Association in January 1888. It was still referred to as the Masonic Cemetery for some time afterwards. The Cemetery Association, which is the owner yet today, is a non-profit organization now run by five directors elected from its stockholders. As such, the cemetery is a private cemetery, not one owned or maintained by the city. The first directors were Judge Ames, Joseph W. Bowles, and Peter Magnes.

A history and description of the cemetery is included along with names from inscriptions and office records in a publication by the local Mount Rosa Chapter, NSDAR. It gives an account of how the cemetery was gradually neglected until 1921, when A. E. Gray, owner of the Littleton Drug Store, lost his son and resolved to beautify the burying ground. He, along with E. F. Burden, Frank Ford, and others, worked to reactivate the Cemetery Association and to create an endowment fund for its upkeep. Water for irrigation comes partly from wells and partly from rights in the Nevada Ditch by diversion through the City Ditch.

The flagpole in the northeast section near Prince Street marks the "Veterans' Circle," where persons who served in America's wars, from the Civil War to World War II, are interred. The first monument in the cemetery was erected by Joseph W. Bowles in memory of a daughter.

Seven Stones Chatfield

We are not drab, dark, somber, or scary. We are not rows of headstones. We are not backhoes and neglected landscaping. We are Light. And nature. We are a gathering place. And an entertainment venue. We are family reunions. And a setting for stories told of loved ones. Of fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers.

We have a chance to reacquaint ourselves with friends and distant family. We are roses and poppies. Cottonwoods and creeks. Sculptures and waterfalls. We are where people remember and pay honor, in a place where they feel good just being.

We are inviting paths and welcoming people. We are a place that makes smiles easier to come by at a time when they're the hardest to come by. We help to heal. And allow you to remember. We are beauty and nature.

We are a slice of Colorado in the shadow of the mountains. We are the promise of a well-kept place for generations to come. We are Seven Stones.
