Smart consumers traditionally look for the best value for their money spent. Now, more than ever, it is so important not to over spend or pay too much for what we purchase. We feel this is especially true when having to make funeral plans at the time of need or when pre-planning.

Our families have said many times, “Eternity Funeral Homes and Crematory provides not only the best price, but even more importantly, the most compassionate, professional services in our area.“ Our staff does not work on a commis- sion or a quota system like others in our industry. Our mission is to give you your options at the best price available not to pressure you into buying something overpriced. What do you have to lose by comparing what Eternity Funeral Homes and Crematory has to offer? Remember, the money you save at Eternity will be left to your family.
