We accept transfers from
any other funeral home.
Over the past decade, many funeral homes
in the area have changed ownership and
the way they are operated.
However, we are committed to remaining
locally and family-owned. Part of that
commitment is helping families who may
wish to transfer their prearrangements from
another funeral home to ours. Our experience
has shown that when families transfer their
prearrangements to us from another funeral
home, many times they will see a substantial
savings in funeral costs.
Call us at any time if you have questions
about costs, transferring your arrangements
from another funeral home, or if we
can be of assistance in any way.
We consider it a privilege.
