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. “You have a FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY locally owned and operated 220 E. 6th Street • Waynesboro, GA 30830 706-554-7999 • www.joineranderson.com Earl Saxon Val Prescott
