David Skelton began his career in 1973 working for the Stabler family who owned funeral homes in Aliceville and Reform, Al. In 1999 David felt led to begin his own funeral home to better serve the families of Pickens County and surrounding areas. His dream came to a realization in March of 2000 when he opened Skelton Funeral Home.

Staff members of Skelton Funeral Home are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of utmost importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. David has been working at Skelton Funeral Home since 2001.
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 the staff were great but when you lose a loved one it should be a very smooth process and your wishes should be fulfilled to help ease the pain. Unfortunately we had to contact the funeral home several times about details rather than them contact us as promised and I was lied to about the end of the service when my loved one’s body was transported to the burial grounds without my grieving mother as requested before the service started. I will not use or recommend this funeral service to anyone ever! As for my family that will be buried in the same area we will use Magnolia in Tuscaloosa
