We recognize each family have their own desires and ideas to create the best funeral service or memorial service that will meet their personal needs. Please feel free to contact us to discuss personal requests and services in more detail.
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.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.
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.

My husband recently passed away from cancer. Hospice was involved, when he passed we asked Frankie to pick up his body. He treated my husband’s body so gently and with such respect. He made the planning process so easy and after the hard battle my husband fought his body was so sunken and tiny, Frankie made him look so nice and beautiful. I was so impressed by how personal he made it. For as bad as the situation is, he made it much easier on me. I’m forever grateful for Frankie and his whole team. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I recently traveled from Tennessee to help our daughter out as her husband was fighting cancer. As we realized he had passed, she made the call to Frankie at Porter & Son's. They were there within the hour. When they picked him up they literally picked him up with the gentleness needed to cradle a baby. They have went above and beyond to help make this grief experience as easy as possible for everyone involved. It was so clean and made everyone feel like family.

When my mother passed away last year, our first choice was Porter's, and we were not let down in any way. Frank made the difficult process of planning my mother's funeral as easy as it could be, and he and the rest of his staff made sure the services went as well as humanly possible. I could not recommend him enough.
