Services we Provide

W e are a full service, family owned, funeral home that provides all types of services:

Traditional funeral services are generally thought of as including a visitation (wake) and a funeral service. This can be done at our funeral home, a local church, or another place. Following the funeral, family and friends are escorted in a procession to the cemetery.

Graveside services are usually a brief service that is conducted at the cemetery instead of a full funeral at the funeral home or church.

Memorial services refer to services in which no body is present. This type of service is usually conducted if someone is cremated or donates their body to a medical program.

There are several options with cremation. In addition to a direct cremation, families may wish to have a visitation and funeral prior to the cremation. This can be done by renting a casket, conducting the services, and then follow with cremation.

Any of the services we provide can be arranged in an at-need (after the death has occured) or in a pre-need situation. If a funeral is arranged prior to death and has been fully funded, the price is protected against inflation and is fully guaranteed by the West Virginia Attorney General.

We also offer several options to personalize the service. We offer large photo boards with frames and easels, Life Tributes DVD's, Thumbies keepsake jewelry, and can arrange for a white dove release at the cemetery. We are also a representative for Bluefield Monument Company and can assist you with your options for grave markers.

We welcome you to contact us to discuss any way that we may be able to serve you.
