Striffler-Hamby Mortuary - LaGrange

Merry Christmas from our families to yours.

Our Location Manager, Dwayne Fuller:
"My favorite traditions are watching "The Christmas Story", listening to Christmas music, spending the day with family, and having our Christmas dinner together."

Robbie Scott, a funeral attendant:
"On Christmas morning, I am baking cinnamon rolls that have cooked bacon and eggs over them. Everyone is in their pajamas and Christmas music is playing. Later in the day, I am frying 3 turkeys for the family. No, I am not one of them." 😜

Angie Jones, a funeral attendant:
"My favorite tradition is celebrating Jesus's birthday with my family and being together Christmas morning. I love listening to Christmas songs, making memories, and talking about all that Jesus has blessed my family with."

Jay Butts, a funeral attendant:
"My favorite tradition is seeing my 9 grandchildren in matching pajamas on Christmas morning."

Jerry Scarborough, one of our funeral assistants:

"My favorite tradition is gathering with all my family on Christmas Eve for a big dinner. Another would be eating Christmas breakfast with my wife, children and now my new granddaughter. We open gifts and later go to Callaway Gardens to Fantasy in Lights."

We will start with our Office Manager, Tandie Taylor:

"My favorite holiday tradition is waking up on Christmas morning with my husband and girls (20 & 24), and spending the morning being together opening gifts. Both of them will be getting married in 2023, so they will start their own traditions next Christmas. I will forever hold these times in my heart."

We will be sharing some of our staff's favorite Christmas Traditions this week. We would love to hear from you as well.

Each year, we acknowledge the work done and sacrifices made by men and women in uniform. On this date, our country remembers and reflects 80 years later on the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941.

Re-creating a loved one's favorite dish during the holidays can be a special way to remember them after their passing. The tradition of honoring someone with food keeps their memory alive and can be passed down through generations. A family cookbook or present engraved with a recipe can be a meaningful celebration.
