Chris figured it was time to modernize and update Davis Funeral Chapel Including changing the name to Howard Funeral Home. The caring and compassionate professionals at Howard Funeral Home are here to help and support you through your difficult time. We offer a range of services to suit your family's wishes and requirements.

You can count on us to help you plan a personal, lasting tribute to your loved one. And we'll carefully guide you through the many decisions that must be made during this challenging time. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to always put ourselves 'in the shoes' of the families we serve, by treating them how we will want to be treated when we have just suffered the loss of someone we love dearly.
Services
Our staff is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to serve your family during a very difficult time. We are friends and neighbors you can turn to with confidence, knowing that your family and your loved one will be treated with "Dignity, Honesty, Respect and Compassion." Chris Howard was born and raised in New Franklin.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
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).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

This place was beautiful! The people there were ABSOLUTELY fantastic! In a time of loss of a loved one, where details and such are very confusing, mixed with grief they were there to fine tune and take over details without hesitation. Thank you Howard funeral home from the bottom of our families hearts. And Lindsay hats off to you girl, you were born to do this job! ❤️❤️❤️😊
