Adam Malin

Adam Malin

Apprentice Funeral Director

Adam has been a part of our team for five years and is currently working towards his funeral director’s license. A Caruthersville native, Adam attended college in Springfield, Missouri, before embarking on a bit of an adventure — living in St. Louis, then Sitka, Alaska, and Portland, Oregon, before finding his way back home to Caruthersville over a decade ago.
Having seen a few corners of the world, Adam has a deep appreciation for this community and the people in it. When he’s not at work, you’ll likely find him working in his yard or spending time outdoors — a love of nature that brings him both peace and perspective. Another of his greatest joys has been serving as guardian to his niece, Lily — an experience he describes as incredibly rewarding.
He is drawn to this work because of the opportunity it gives him to walk alongside families during one of life’s most difficult moments. Whether he’s helping with the everyday details behind the scenes or supporting a family through the arrangements process, Adam brings warmth and genuine care to everything he does.
