A native of Avenel, New Jersey, Kim has been working in the funeral industry for almost his whole life.  He began his career by working at his uncle's funeral home in Elizabeth, New Jersey when he was a teenager washing the cars and working as a greeter at viewings and funerals.  He then expanded his knowledge and gained more experience by doing his apprenticeship at Werson Funeral Home in Linden, New Jersey.  When he and his wife Judy moved to California, Kim worked at Buchheim Family Chapel in Fresno (known today as Palm La Paz).  While they were living and working in Fresno for a few years, he decided that he wanted to start his own funeral home.  Kim is a licensed funeral director in both New Jersey and California, a former knight of the Knights of Columbus #4305 and has over 40 years experience in all areas of funeral service.
