Services
Wheeler Mortuary has been family owned and operated for over 127 years and by five generations. Upon the death of Walter Wheeler in 1921, Walter's son, Alma Young "A.Y.", took over the business and rented the mortuary's first facility. In 1923, Wheeler Mortuary was built at 355 East 100 North in Springville.
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 (below) has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Meaningful memorialization of a loved one's passing can transform, heal, and comfort us. It highlights our loved ones' sacrifices, reminds us of the things that they value, and inspires us with their life stories. Have the Talk of a Lifetime, a program created by The Funeral and Memorial Information Council, was designed to help families have meaningful conversations about the things that matter most in their lives.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).

We worked with Wheeler Mortuary recently after the passing of my mother and they were amazing. They were so easy to work with and handled a lot of details for us. They are very experienced in this field and helped walk my family through all of the unknowns of the process.
Sean was a great funeral director. During the funeral proceedings and graveside service, he was very kind and understanding. He provided some great direction in a respectful manner.
Amanda in the back office was also great. She helped design the actual printed program that was used during the funeral. She took minutes to design
