Our Story

It is inconsistent with the best interest of a bereaved family to have to share a funeral home environment with another group of bereaved people whose emotional dynamics may be very different. One family may be confronted with a sudden or traumatic loss while another family is marking the end of a long life. The intermingling of such contrasting circumstances would be disrespectful to the needs of both families as well as the memory of their loved ones. It has been and shall remain the POLICY of KELLY FUNERAL HOME to schedule only one wake at a time. The fact that we are able to hold more than one wake at the same time doesn't mean that we should. The time you spend in our funeral home is too important to your family for the environment to be compromised by any unnecessary distractions. ** Traditional Burial Services Cremation Service Options Remodeled, Enlarged Facilities Wheelchair Lift & Rest Room Central Air Conditioning Audio/Video System Very Large Chapel Children's Activity Area Large Attended Parking Area **Website with Online Condolence Messaging Online Obituaries Driving Directions Online Prearrangement Form Online Photo Tour of the Funeral Home Available for Planning In Advance Pre-Paid Bank Accounts (including Medicaid Spend-Down Guidance)
