Kyra Geil Funeral Director/Embalmer

Kyra Michelle Resavy Geil was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona and then moved to Oklahoma in 2014. She resides in Yukon with her two yorkies, Clementine and Stevie Nicks, and works in Midwest City. She has a true passion for funeral services and strives to help families by personalizing a service for their loved one and helping them through a difficult journey. During her down time, you can find Kyra spending time at home with Clem and Stevie, working outside in the flower beds or relaxing; and spending time with her boyfriend, Danny, enjoying each other's company, drinking coffee, and watching documentaries. She also enjoys spending time with her mom, Caryla, helping her around the house and sharing memories; and spending time with her brother, Zachary, who has Fragile X Syndrome, calling each other Dorothy and Blanche from The Golden Girls, which is a show they both enjoy watching together and taking him shopping at Goodwill and Ross. She loves her family and would not trade them for anything in the world.

Elizabeth Wulf Funeral Director/Embalmer

Elizabeth grew up in Wellston, Oklahoma, and attended Harrah Schools until graduating in 2003. In 2005, Elizabeth completed a certification in Construction Trades from Eastern Oklahoma County Technology Center and was the first female student in the program to receive the Education Enhancement Award Scholarship to further her educational pursuits.

 

Enrolling at Rose State College in 2006 until 2008, enrolling again in 2011, and changing her major 5 times, she graduated with an Associate Degree in Psychology in 2014. Finishing the extracurricular studies and education efforts gathered along the way, Elizabeth enrolled at The University of Central Oklahoma and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science and Math, majoring in Funeral and Mortuary Sciences in 2022.

 

Spending many years in the service industry and located in the Midwest City area, Elizabeth grew a deep appreciation for providing an accommodating experience that people would return to have time, and time again. Coupling her love for anatomy and her experience in service, her emergence into the death care industry did not come as a surprise to anyone that knows her.

 

Elizabeth is ordained through The Universal Life Church in Seattle, Washington, and has spent quite a bit of time helping couples personalize their guest’s experiences at weddings, as well as officiating and writing personalized wedding vows for both bride and groom.

 

Elizabeth is an avid artisan in many ways, and prides herself in the ability to fix what she breaks, build what she needs, and learn new things. “Staying curious about HOW things work is necessary for staying apt in finding WHY things stop working.” Elizabeth fills as much of her free time as possible spending time at home with her family, remodeling and building in their home, and loving on their family dog, Odin.
