Sadly, death touches the lives and hearts of every family. The Colyer Funeral Home Staff makes every effort to offer understanding, caring, and calming support to families who are coping with the emotions of grief.

Why have a funeral?

The funeral service has evolved through the years as a result of our instinctive wish to honor our dead and to comfort the bereaved. The ceremony of the funeral symbolizes the beliefs of a culture, its hopes, its ideals, its spiritual concepts.

Just as there is complexity in life so are there many dimensions of the modern funeral. The funeral is a vital part of the process by which the bereaved begin to adjust to a way of life that has been abruptly altered. The Staff at the Colyer Funeral Home are here to guide you through the maze of confusion. Families can take comfort in knowing that a Colyer Funeral Home Director is quietly working behind the scenes to take care of many important details for the family while creating a fitting tribute for the deceased.
