Being involved in the funeral service industry since she was 16 years old, Macy’s passion for serving families began at an early age. June 6, 2025, marked Macy’s 14th year working in the business. She graduated from Cascade High School, Clayton, Indiana, in the class of 2012 and then went on to graduate from Ivy Tech Community College, Indianapolis, Indiana, with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Mortuary Science and Funeral Service in 2017. Macy became a licensed funeral director and embalmer, as well as a licensed life insurance producer in Indiana in 2018. In 2025, Macy relocated from central Indiana to eastern Iowa to be with her husband, Austin Lane.

Although the first in her family to be involved in funeral service, Macy enjoys helping families make thoughtful selections for the future, as well as support, knowledge, and resources after a death has occurred. Losing her mother suddenly at age 50 with no plans in place quickly became her “why",

encouraging Macy to serve families better and truly express the value of advanced planning to others. Macy has maintained knowledge over time and is passionate about walking alongside families as they

are closing out final affairs, applying for veterans’ benefits, social security benefits, and grief support.

When not working in the funeral homes, Macy enjoys taking her boat out on the water, attending Mass, going to livestock shows and concerts, traveling, and working alongside her husband, Austin, on their family’s purebred Berkshire hog operation.

Over the course of her career, Macy has helped many predominantly Catholic families through the loss of a loved one. She takes pride in her knowledge of the Catholic faith and knows that preplanning is a component of good stewardship for all Catholics.

Macy is a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Preston, Iowa, the Indiana Funeral Directors Association, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, and the International Cemetery, Cremation, and Funeral Association.
