Personal pride: This is our business, our hometown. You can be assured we take great personal pride in keeping our facility and our vehicles in top condition.

A focus on families, not profits: Large corporations and multiple location funeral homes answer to a main office . We answer to you. In our locally-owned company, there is no pressure from a main office to increase profits. We understand our business will do well when we serve you well.

A knowledge of local customs: Funeral traditions vary greatly around the country. We have a fine appreciation of local customs and expectations, because we have lived in this community for years. On the other hand, the staff and management assigned to a funeral home by a large company may be from another area. And that can create a lack of awareness and sometimes disappointment when expectations are not met.

An investment in the community: Just as you do, we turn to our neighbors for services and products. Whenever possible, we choose to do business with other locally-owned and operated businesses. Pre-need trust funds are invested in state and local banks. We also support many local charities, schools, and other community efforts.

It's nice to know who you're working with: If you're like most people, whether you're buying a car or hiring a lawn service, you find it's nicer to work with a small company. You like the flexibility and the personal service you can get when you can talk directly with the owner.
