📅 Today marked our first funeral service of 2026.

⭐️ A new year, a new beginning—and the same unwavering commitment to serving families with dignity, care, and attention to every detail.

✅ From today’s brand new funeral coach arriving at the funeral home, to our old-school readerboard honoring a life well lived, to a peaceful and beautiful committal at the cemetery—this service reflected what has guided us for generations: respect, professionalism, and compassion.

❤️ I am grateful to the Oberlin/Coffey/Bagby family for placing their trust in us again during such a meaningful time, and proud of my dedicated staff who carried out today’s service with quiet excellence.

❤️ As always, it is our honor to serve our community—today, and every day. ~ Barry Purse
