Christine Broberg
Life Story Funeral Director

Christine discovered her fascination with the funeral profession at the age of 10. It was then that she attended the funeral of her four-year-old cousin, who she thought looked remarkably more peaceful lying in the casket than she had in life. This contradiction was intriguing to Christine and she promptly began asking all the questions she could. From this moment on, she knew what she wanted to do.

Though Christine became pregnant during her senior year at Hackett Catholic Central, the experience only encouraged her to pursue her career. She gave birth to her daughter, Kelly Renee, on September 25, 1991. With the support of her parents, Christine focused on her schoolwork and graduated in 1992.

Before and during her attendance at mortuary school, Christine took advantage of the opportunity to work for Betzler Funeral Home. Upon becoming a licensed funeral director, Christine began working for Scott Betzler, who owned a pet crematory named Precious Pets. Though she enjoyed this work, Christine wanted to be able to practice her trade in a conventional funeral home. Soon, the opportunity arose. Rupert, Durham, Marshall & Gren was looking for a part-time funeral director and Christine knew this would be a great place to work. Since 2001, Christine has gradually been taking on more responsibility with the firm, and in April 2004, she became a full-time funeral director.

Christine came to RDMG just as it began to employ the services of Life Story Network®. To her, Life Story Network® helps families realize the saying, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." She has witnessed overwhelmingly positive responses from families to Life Story Funerals® . Instead of feeling as if they are the target of a sale, families tell Christine that they feel like the funeral service centers entirely on them and the memories they want to share. "No one wants to come into our building," Christine says, "they do it because they have to, so I try to make the experience personal, comforting, and educational for them." She does this by allowing herself to be emotionally involved with a family, recognizing that by offering more compassion, she helps them to feel more comfortable with her and, in turn, the funeral process.

Making people comfortable is what Christine Broberg does best. In her personal life, she takes comfort in her family, with whom she spends most of her free time. Christine has been married to her husband Scott since 1995, and they share their home with their children, Kelly Renee & Allison Faye, two dogs, Daisy & Daphne, two kitties, Max & Macy and a slew of other animal friends.
