Many families have been with us for years and many come to us because of our historic facilities & relaxed home like setting. Ask about our pre need programs. Pre need allows you to have all funeral arrangements planned and paid for before-hand. Pre need can reduce stress, and allow the family to spend more time together and in personal reflection. With pre need, all arrangements are taken care of in advance, so when the time comes, you don’t have to deal with making these decisions while experiencing emotional loss.
