In 1946, after his honorable discharge in the United States Military, C.W. Terwilliger began his professional service to Manistee County in the Finnish community of Kaleva. The name of the town originates from the epic Finnish poem KALEVALA. As time past, and the community grew, so did the Terwillliger family business.
We understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We offer our support by providing you with two options as you consider making immediate arrangements. Please call us at (231) 882-5502 BBFH or (231) 362-3575 TFH to make arrangements in person with a caring professional.
100% of the families served would recommend our firm. The Bennett-Barz Funeral Home is Benzie County's most established funeral home. From its beginnings in 1909 as a furniture and undertaking business, the families of Honor, Beulah, Benzonia, Thompsonville, Copemish and Frankfort have been served with dignity, compassion and respect.
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.
