Eileen Colville has had quite a lot of experience with death. She comes from a large family with many cousins, aunts, and uncles. Her many experiences with funerals gave her the idea to start a business that provides personalized funeral programs.

Eileen is now president of MILESTONE INSIGHT, which grew from the funeral programs business. MILESTONE INSIGHT tells the story of the person(s) celebrating a particular milestone. She started it because she saw it as the missing piece of life’s milestone events. From attending many milestone events in her own life, she noticed that there was nothing special and especially personal, set apart, about the person and their loved ones celebrating the event. This ―something‖ was the missing piece that gave birth to MILESTONE INSIGHT. Separated from the usual Program, Invitations, and Favors, Eileen’s insight was to fill in the missing piece with a person’s written life story—accomplished by in-person interviews with the person making the rite of passage, as well as their family and friends.

This professionally written history is then showcased in a beautifully designed FOLIO along with photographs. The FOLIO, a resource worth reading and viewing, is then distributed to the guests at the event, deepening the meaning of the milestone by the sharing of the story. It becomes a family treasure worth having and keeping. It is history . . . to be cherished forever.
