BELLE GLADE, FL—From the quiet streets of a small Florida town to becoming the youngest funeral home owner in the nation, June Altidor’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Born and raised in Belle Glade, Florida, June’s fascination with the afterlife began at an early age. While most children spent their days at parks or playgrounds, June found herself drawn to the local funeral home, where she spent countless hours observing and learning.
This early curiosity blossomed into a lifelong passion. After graduating high school, June pursued a dual degree in crime scene technology and funeral service, combining her interest in forensic science with her desire to serve families during their most challenging moments. By the age of 18, she was already working at a funeral home in West Palm Beach, gaining hands-on experience and honing her craft.
But June had a bigger dream: to own her own funeral home. At just 33 years old, she turned that dream into reality with the opening of *Celebration of Life Chapel*. As the youngest funeral home owner in the United States, June has redefined what it means to serve families with compassion, innovation, and excellence.
“I wanted to create a space where families could truly celebrate the lives of their loved ones,” June explains. “It’s not just about saying goodbye—it’s about honoring their legacy in a meaningful way.”
Since its inception two years ago, Celebration of Life Chapel has served over 240 families, not only in Florida but across the globe. June’s commitment to providing seamless, personalized services—ranging from traditional funerals to cremation and cemetery arrangements—has earned her a reputation for excellence.
What sets June apart is her unwavering dedication to family values and personal commitment. She believes every life is unique, and every service should reflect that individuality. “It’s about listening to the families, understanding their needs, and creating a celebration that truly honors their loved one,” she says.
For June, the greatest reward is knowing she’s made a difference during a family’s most difficult time. “Helping families create a beautiful celebration of life for someone they love—it’s incredibly fulfilling,” she shares.
June Altidor’s story is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and purpose. From her humble beginnings in Belle Glade to her groundbreaking achievements in the funeral service industry, she continues to inspire those around her. As *Celebration of Life Chapel* grows, one thing is certain: June’s vision of compassion and excellence will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
