Dryden Funeral Home was formed in 1962 by brothers Carl T. and Alta Dryden following the brothers' purchase of Guntharp Funeral Home from its owner, Charles Guntharp. In 1966, Carl's son Eddy Lynn joined the family business and was its President until his death in 2005. Carl, or as he was more affectionately known "C.T.", stayed active in the business until his death in 1993.

The men and women who served in the armed forces, whether during a time of war, or one of peace, are living examples of that contradiction. Each should be honored and remembered, so that our gratitude never fades.

Obviously then, a funeral service in Borneo would look very different from one held in Tanzania; there are even significant differences between the funerals held in ethnically and/or geographically diverse regions of North America.Yet, despite the differences, these funeral services have much in common.
