Little about us.

It was back in 1964 when we first opened our doors not knowing where it would take us. We only knew that we were committed to provide a level of care to those in our community. As we worked to meet this goal, time has ushered us into our 50th year as the oldest name in funeral service in the Midland community. We may not know where the next 50 years will take us but we know that being true to our commitment is the foundation of our success and encourages us to improve each and every day. We cannot measure the trust placed in us by the families we have served over the years, we can only express to them our deepest appreciation for allowing us to be there for them.
