Meet Mark Ballard.

During his five years in the US Air Force, Mark was stationed in San Antonio, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico. His duties there taught him the importance of teamwork, discipline, preparation, camaraderie, and above all, love of country. Mark now serves as the Director of Advance Planning at French Funerals & Cremations in Albuquerque.

As a veteran himself, Mark understands how easy it is to feel forgotten not taken care of. That is why he and his team at French work so hard to care for other veterans by educating them about the pre-planning process and supporting them before, during and after the funeral.
