Grand Opening Celebration: Lotus Funeral Services
October 10, 2025, marked the highly anticipated Grand Opening of Lotus Funeral Services, an independently owned and woman-led Palm Coast business founded by Nina Guiglotto.
The event was filled with heartwarming moments as friends, colleagues, and community members gathered to celebrate Nina’s inspiring new venture. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., more than 150 local residents came through to show their support and share in the excitement of this milestone.
Nina and her entire team welcomed guests with gratitude and warmth, creating an atmosphere that truly reflected the compassion and care that Lotus Funeral Services is built upon.
