We’re looking forward to introducing you to Dr. Christie K. Moore Moore, CFSP. Check out our conversation below.
Christie K. Moore, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Serving families in their most vulnerable moments makes me lose track of time—but in the best way. Whether I’m guiding a loved one through planning a memorial, creating space for shared stories, or training my team to serve with deeper compassion, I often look up and realize hours have passed. It’s in those moments—when I’m fully present, leading with heart—that I feel most aligned with my purpose. Funeral service isn’t just a career for me; it’s where I lose myself in service and find myself in meaning.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Dr. Christie K. Redmon Moore—a proud Oak Cliff native, funeral director, entrepreneur, and legacy builder. I’m the CEO of Mansfield Funeral Home & Cremations, with locations in Mansfield and Frisco, and founder of The Christie K. Foundation. For over 27 years, I’ve dedicated my life to serving families with dignity, compassion, and innovation—especially in times of loss.
What makes my work unique is that I believe funerals are not just about closure—they’re about celebration, healing, and storytelling. We specialize in transforming traditional services into unforgettable, meaningful experiences that reflect the life lived.
I also work to empower the next generation through grief education, entrepreneurship coaching, and community-based outreach. Currently, I’m focused on expanding our brand nationwide—building funeral homes that are rooted in culture, compassion, and community, while also mentoring leaders who want to serve with excellence and purpose.
More than anything, I believe in grace, service, and helping others find peace—even in the hardest moments of life.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that overextends to prove my worth. For years, I carried the pressure of being everything to everyone—constantly saying yes, pouring from an empty cup, and attaching my value to how much I could endure. That mindset served a season, but it no longer serves my purpose. I now understand that boundaries are sacred, rest is necessary, and I don’t have to sacrifice myself to serve others well. Releasing that need for validation has made space for clarity, confidence, and a more intentional version of me—still giving, but no longer depleted.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her, “Beautiful, kind, loving girl…You are already enough—just as you are.” I’d remind her that her strength is not just in how much she can carry, but in how deeply she cares, how boldly she dreams, and how gracefully she gets back up. I’d tell her to trust her instincts, to take up space without apology, and to know that every detour has its purpose. The path won’t be easy—but it will be worth it because she was never meant to fit in. She was born to lead.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies the funeral industry tells itself is that “tradition alone will sustain us.” We often hide behind outdated models and assume that if we just keep doing what we’ve always done, people will continue to come. But today’s families are informed, diverse, and deeply personal in how they grieve—and we must evolve to meet them where they are.
Another lie is that vulnerability and innovation are risky. In reality, staying the same is the real risk. When we resist creativity, technology, and authentic service, we miss the opportunity to be transformational instead of transactional.
And finally, we often tell ourselves that we’re just in the business of death. But we’re not. We’re in the business of life, legacy, and healing—and when we lead with that truth, everything changes.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope they say, “Christie K. made people feel seen, heard, and valued.” I hope they remember that I didn’t just run a business—I served with heart, I showed up with integrity, and I created space for healing when it was needed most. I want to be remembered as a woman who turned pain into purpose, who lifted others as she climbed, and who gave generously—whether it was wisdom, compassion, or opportunity. I hope the story they tell is one of grace, grit, and legacy—that I lived fully, led faithfully, and left this world better than I found it.
