Every life has a story worth telling.

At McCalla Memorial Funeral Home, we believe every farewell should reflect the heart of the person being remembered. We welcome personal touches, favorite songs, keepsakes, or traditions that make a service truly unique. When you prearrange with us, we always make note of the details that are important to you.

One of our favorite memories was a gentleman’s visitation where his own voice sang hymns he recorded years before. It was a beautiful reminder that love and legacy live on in the details.

What is a personal detail of a friend or family member’s service that you still cherish? Let us know in the comments.
