Since 1938, Nichols Funeral Homes have offered compassionate service to thousands of families. Through many changes brought on by technology and social advances, our cornerstone as set forth by J.R. "Red" Nichols - is still our dedicated commitment to providing our families with a meaningful service tailored to their wishes.
From start to finish, we handle all our families with the utmost care possible. Our staff of licensed funeral directors guide each family throughout the entire process from funeral to cremation arrangements. Being one of the few funeral providers in North Alabama who has our own 'On Site' Crematory, families can feel comforted knowing that their loved one never leaves our care.

In 1942, James Rufus "Red" Nichols, a native of Anniston, Alabama, assumed ownership of the only funeral home in Winston County since 1912. Then, known as Dozier Funeral Home, "Red" had been a vital part of the business since 1935. Starting working for Mr. Dozier when he was 15, Red understood at an early age how important service was and how vital memorializing life was.
When its time to come to any of our locations, we think it's important to know who you'll be working with. Our team is made up all of local, familiar faces. From pre planning to funeral and cremation needs, our staff is trained and ready to help with each step of the way. Haleyville native, Joseph, with the encouragement of his wife, Jordan, purchased all three Nichols Funeral Home locations from the Dimond family.
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.
Most of us are not prepared to plan and carry out a funeral ceremony for someone we love. And so much of the information available on this critically important subject fails to focus on what is most important: having a personalized, meaningful funeral that helps families and friends begin the healing process of mourning after the death of someone we love.
