The Dodge Company recently added funeral service professionals Michael Andrade and Nathan Shaw to its team of sales representatives. Andrade has assumed George Turner’s territory in west central California following his retirement, and Shaw has assumed Brent Elazier’s territory in eastern lower Michigan after his retirement.

Andrade’s experience dates back to 2000, when he began working at Draper Mortuary in Ontario, California, as a night attendant while attending funeral service school at Cypress College. After graduating with honors in 2001, he apprenticed at Oakdale Mortuary and became its care center supervisor in 2013. He was also involved with the firm’s community outreach programs and career days, and assisted in “Teen Solutions,” a program designed to help troubled teens.

In 2014, Andrade worked at the San Diego Medical Examiner’s Office, where he assisted in autopsies and became certified as a death investigator. In 2017, he returned to active funeral service. Most recently, he worked at Riverside Care Center as supervisor and, later, as care center and crematory manager.

A graduate of Wayne State University’s funeral service program in 2006, Shaw apprenticed at James H. Cole Home for Funerals. Following licensure in 2007, he remained at the firm and served as a senior embalmer. dodgeco.com
