When a death occurs, knowing what to do first can feel overwhelming.

Do I call the funeral home? Is there paperwork I need? Who do I contact? What decisions have to be made right away?

You don't need to figure any of that out before calling us.

At Gorsline Runciman, we'll help you understand what needs to happen now, what can wait and what we'll take care of for you.

You don't need a plan before you call. You just need somewhere to start.

We're here when you need us.

A life is remembered in so many ways. In favorite stories told again and again, familiar traditions, shared laughter, lifelong passions, and the moments that become especially precious after someone is gone.

Ball-Dunn Chapel remembers:

David Eugene Wightman
Kalli Leeann Hays
Nancy Eileen Staffeld
Arthur Edmund Bischoff
Gale Lee Hatch
Phillip Renae Baker
Sandra Kay Bolton
Douglas J. McNamara

To the families and friends remembering these lives, we hope you find comfort in the memories that are uniquely yours and in knowing that the people we love remain part of our stories long after they are gone.

It is an honor to help preserve and celebrate those stories.

The love between parents and children is woven into so many of life's greatest memories.

On Sons and Daughters Day, take a moment to share a story, look through old photographs, or simply spend time with the people you love. It's often the everyday moments that become the ones we remember most.

Wishing all of our families a day filled with love and meaningful memories.

If your family had to describe your favorite recipe, the stories behind your old photographs, or where you served in the military... would they know?

There are so many pieces of our lives that never make it into a will or estate plan - but they mean everything to the people we leave behind.

Our complimentary Personal Planning Guide helps you preserve not only your final wishes, but also the information, memories, and details that help tell your story.

Because planning ahead isn't only about preparing for the future - it's about leaving a gift of clarity, comfort, and connection for those you love.
