About Us

While strong traditions are the core of how we serve our families today, we recognize the changing needs of those we serve. It is this understanding that has allowed us to provide our community with the tools to help distant friends and relatives to celebrate the life of a loved one while at the same time helping those at home.

At Merritt Funeral Home, we strive to provide our families the very best. We believe in maintaining a high standard of excellence. We believe that adapting to the future is one of the best ways to stay close to our traditional past. And we believe in celebrating a life lived.
