About Heather Hill and Robin Simonton
Heather Hill is a funeral director at Renaissance Funeral Home in Raleigh, NC. Heather is new to the funeral industry and feels that her past careers in the healthcare field and traveling the world as a flight attendant has led her to this passion. The opportunity to work with families in their time of need is a calling and Heather takes a personal approach when helping families. She also advocates for green burial, end of life care and providing meaningful memorial services. Heather is a recent widow and is raising three children along with the help of her close family and friends. Having experienced such a profound loss in her life, she can connect with others at their level and offer support and a shoulder to lean on.
Robin Simonton is the executor director at Historic Oakwood Cemetery. Previously she was on the leadership team at Girl Scouts- North Carolina Coastal Pines. Robin has been a "tombstone tourist" for much of her life and enjoys what historic cemeteries can teach us about life and death. She lives in Raleigh with her husband and her 6 year old son.
