Former lead singer and keyboardist of the 1970s Southern Rock band, Littlerock, Craig now composes moving piano ballads with lyrics that encourage the listener to have faith, hold onto hope and never stop loving others.

He appears as a guest musician and vocalist in many Jacksonville, Florida area churches, as well as performing Golden Oldies concerts for senior centers, nursing homes, retirement communities as well as other venues. Craig released a new CD in 2013 titled Just Enough Grace - which features eight of his original compositions.

A freelance writer, musician and award-winning songwriter – Craig Seaton serves the Jacksonville community as a professional Funeral Planner and Monument Designer. He’s helped thousands of families with the often-overwhelming details surrounding funeral, cremation and burial arrangements.

Coupled with a poignant worldview, Craig’s professional and personal experiences with death give him the ability to communicate words of comfort and wisdom. He engages his readers with thought-provoking stories about life, love and family.

An expert Memorialist, Craig has designed cemetery monuments and private family burial estates for hundreds of people — including country music legend Slim Whitman, civil rights era murder victim Johnnie Mae Chappell and Jiffy Food Stores mogul, Louis Huntley.

Craig is the author of two soon-published works of narrative nonfiction - the first of which, Some Rare and Perfect Tomorrow, features true stories written to help after (and even before) the loss of a loved one. His writing has been featured in the premier national funeral directors’ magazine, Southern Calls and he’s written many articles about life and death for his local community newspaper, and blogs for his website: craigseaton.com. Craig is a member in good standing of the Florida Writers Association and the Clay County Writers Group.

He is an accomplished public speaker and has been featured on the Investigation Discovery Channel series, Blood Relatives as a grief professional. He’s served as an expert panelist for life-planning symposia and teaches seminars regarding the importance of advance planning for Final Arrangements, Veterans’ Burial Benefits and other End-Of-Life Issues.

Craig lives in Orange Park, Florida with his wife, Tami, and has two adult children, son, Tylor; and daughter, Tara Seaton-Yarborough - and some of the most beautiful grandchildren you've ever laid eyes on!
