We realize how important it is to communicate with the public concerning the family's wishes during a very difficult time.

It is our responsibility to the families we serve to promptly notify the community by means of our 24-hour obituary line and accurately relay this information so that friends and family will know when and where the family may receive visitors and time and place of the funeral service.

The notice of the passing of a loved one is placed on this web site, in all the local papers and radio stations, and any additional notices will be placed at the request of the family upon completion of service arrangements.

We work for our families to ease the burden during their time of loss.
