Owner and Funeral Director
Louis is a fourth-generation funeral director and a life-long New Mexican who can eat red chile cheese enchiladas every day!
He and Gloria have been married 37 years. When Louis isn't with Gloria, he is training for triathlons with the desire to compete in the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii before he turns 70.
Although he looks most like his mother, families comment on how much he is like his father, the late Lester E. Salazar. He inherited his father's humor but most of all, he inherited his ability to be an exceptional funeral director.
Owner and Funeral Director
Gloria became a funeral director in 2011 but she began her working career as a mechanical engineer. She enjoys the challenge of managing two funeral homes and a crematory and loves meeting with families.
When she's not at the funeral homes, you can be sure she is home planning another adventure since Louis and Gloria love traveling in their spare time.
