We are very pleased to announce our two apprentices. Rondell is attending Pennsylvania Institute of Mortuary Science to gain licensure as an embalmer and funeral director. He’s on the downhill swing and will be done next year. Ron has done an amazing job while he has been with us.

Elizabeth has started her funeral director apprenticeship and will complete her journey in two years. She is also a licensed preneed agent.

The Smathers family has adopted our family or we adopted them. Either way, for generations to come, we will be providing a legacy of care.

Call 304-438-6141 to make an appointment to see Elizabeth, Monica, or Travis to discuss your pre-need arrangement options or to transfer current ones to us in Alderson or Rainelle.

If you’ve put off buying a stone for you or a loved one, now is the time to talk about them as well. There is still time to get them set before winter, but time is getting close to not be able to set them due to the temperatures dropping.
