Services
Higgins Funeral Home has served Fayetteville and Lincoln County for four generations, back to the days when a horse-drawn hearse transported the deceased from home to church to cemetery. The community has changed, growing in size and diversity. Funeral and burial practices have changed, too, in ways that might have shocked our Victorian founders in their full-dress black tails.
We believe in preserving the memories of the person you love. No two people are alike, and no two services should be alike. Our staff at Higgins Funeral Home guides you in selecting a tribute that celebrates uniqueness and holds meaning for your family. Religious and cultural traditions, costs, and personal preferences all shape funeral traditions.
More and more people are deciding years in advance how they want their funeral, memorial service, and burial handled. Called preneed planning, this practice eases the burden on your surviving loved ones and makes your funeral wishes crystal clear. It is not at all unusual for us to work with a couple, both in their mid-50s or early 60s, to make advance arrangements.
Funerals and memorial services can be elaborate or simple, religious or secular. They can be held in a place of worship or next to a favorite lake. Whether it includes burial or cremation, services can be altered to fit the wishes of the deceased and his or her survivors. A traditional or "full-service funeral" usually includes a viewing or visitation and formal service.
Many families we serve choose earth burial for final disposition and resting place. Burial in a cemetery provides friends and family members a memorial focal point to visit for years and generations to come. Graveside committal rites can occur after a funeral service at our funeral home, church, or other venues.

Higgins Funeral not only took care of my funeral needs, they follow up afterwards. They genuinely show care after the services. They have reached out to check on me at least three times. They have treated me with compassion instead of as a mere customer. I would definitely recommend them without reservations.

I had a very special and comforting experience with Higgins. Chris went above and beyond to meet my needs. He was kind, easily accessible and comforting during my mother’s burial. Events happen in every family, especially at such a vulnerable time as this; Chris was able to fulfill my mother’s last wish. His cooperation and kindness allowed me to keep a promise I made before my mother left this world. I appreciate so very much the kindness and continued support from them during my bereavement. It is always a comfort to know there are people who are willing to make the end of the road for some
