Samuel Dixon McCully was the first undertaker and funeral director in Idaville, Indiana located at the northwest corner of Main and U.S. Hwy 24. He began as a carpenter and then also became an undertaker sometime in the late 1870's. The McCully's were one of the founders of Idaville in 1860. Samuel McCully was followed by his son, J.H. McCully who later moved to a room on Main St., south of the railroad.
In 1902, Mr. Thompson bought the business from J.H. McCully, but in a short time sold it back to him. L.E. Miller bought the furniture and undertaking business from J.H. McCully in 1920. In 1927, L.E. Miller and Arthur C. Prevo operated an Undertaking Parlor together for about five years. Loran was in business until his death in 1941.

A funeral is an important part of grieving, and often the first step in the healing process. For thousands of years, funerals have been the preferred means of expressing grief and paying tribute to loved ones. When dealing with loss and grief, there is no single solution that meets the needs of every individual.
Nothing can be more overwhelming than the death of a loved one. The ability to make informed choices can help you along this path. Bringing family and friends together to celebrate a cherished life is part of the healing process, and best served through a personalized ceremony and tribute.
When choosing cremation, it is important not only to capture the memories and celebrate the spirit of your loved one, but also to provide healing through gathering together, paying tribute, and celebrating a life well lived.Our primary mission is to ensure that this special, emotional, and necessary time for healing receives the utmost attention.

Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.

I highly recommend Springer Funeral Home to anyone who may find themselves in that position. As I am from another State and not familiar with procedures here, Randy and Katherine made this heartbreaking time so much easier. They were compassionate, helpful and treated us like family. They set up all the arrangements for the Military Honors and… helped us make the difficult decisions easier. Their compassion did not stop at the funeral and continued when they attended the Memorial at our home. If you have the need and are looking for a Funeral Home, please consider Springer.

I can’t even begin to thank Randy and Catherine Springer for their dedication and thought that they put into each and every step of the process when you lose a loved one. They took care of the whole process as we grieved for the loss of my father. Throughout the whole thing it was as if they were family taking care of one of their own. From my whole family, we thank you so much. The Daetwilers

We lost or son in a motorcycle accident recently. We never thought we would need to plan a funeral for our young boy. Randy Springer is a very special soul. He helped us through the whole journey. He was very up front and honest, we do not believe he over charged for anything. He was always concerned about our needs. Randy honestly made the funeral a beautiful event and even tailored it to our sons liking. I highly recommend Springer Voorhis Draper funeral home.
