Funerals are an important step in the grieving process, as well as an opportunity to honor a life lived. They offer surviving family members and friends a caring, supportive environment in which to share thoughts and feelings about the death. Often funerals are the first step in the healing process.

Funeral Directors are here to help you through a very difficult time in your life. We are listeners and counselors, tribute planners and crisis managers. Through discussions with you, based on information you share about your wishes and details about your loved one, we are able to offer guidance and help you coordinate a very personal tribute that honors the life of your loved one. We can guide you through planning the service; complete necessary paperwork; and coordinate doctors, ministers, florists, newspapers and other vendors to make your funeral experience as seamless as possible. But we also listen to your stories about your loved one, answer your questions on grief, link you to support groups and recommend sources of professional help. By acting as an experienced source for support and guidance, a professional, ethical funeral director can provide you with relief during one of your greatest times of need.

Curvin K. Council Funeral Home recommends that everyone pre-plan his or her own funeral. Doing so can offer emotional and financial security for both you and your family. By pre-planning a funeral you will get the kind of service you want and your family will be unburdened from making decisions at a stressful time. Pre-planning doesn’t necessarily mean pre-paying. If you are considering pre-planning your funeral, please contact us for more information.
