If you remember the ice and snow we had earlier this year, you might also remember the water leak it caused here at the funeral home.

We had the damage repaired, but as it turns out, those repairs didn’t quite hold the way we had hoped. So, we’re at it again! 🔨

Over this past week we were able to get it repaired. (Thanks to Monty Jeralds!) We appreciate your patience and understanding if you encountered a little extra activity during your visit.

Thank you for your continued support as we keep our funeral home in the best possible condition to serve the families who place their trust in us. ❤️

Thank you for this sweet and kind gesture!
