Our Story

In 1950, William M. (Tizzy) Tisdale and his wife, Mary, took over operation of the funeral home, which they eventually purchased in 1959. Mrs. Tisdale died in 2008 and Mr. Tisdale in 2010. The kind of thoughtful, dedicated, personal service they established continues today with operation now in the capable hands of the next generation of the family.
