Townsend Brothers Funeral Home has been in business since 1937. It is a family owned and operated business. The funeral home moved down to the court house square in the early forties where it remained for several years. Two Brothers, James and Forrest Townsend operated the funeral home together for many years.
Their parents, Rev. John E. Townsend and Mamie Lou Dixon Townsend kept the business going while both James and Forrest served our country in World War II. In 1948 the funeral home moved to the corner of Gaines and Monroe. The building was a residential home that was build around 1912. In the late 1950's the building was remodeled and bricked, and the chapel added.

Townsend picked up my grandmother from my home the morning she passed away, we had originally planned on using them for her cremation but decided to go with a cheaper option as my grandmother would not have wanted us to spend so much money on her. The staff at Townsend were very rude once we told them our decision and had an attitude the rest of the time we were there. It was highly unprofessional and disrespectful showing what we had all just went through.

I used Townsend floral page which has flowers and plants to choose from. I was very disappointed and embarrassed by what was received by the family. I paid $96.17 for a hydrangea plant from their page, and this gift of a hydrangea was posted to the deceased obituary page, but the family actually received a very small small azalea. I contacted Townsend, and they denied any responsibility, placing blame on the florist they used. The florist said they were paid $45.00 by Townsend for my order, and hydrangeas are not in season.

I’m not sure if I ever rated you guys. Thank you for the most loving and heartfelt experience. Every single one of you took such care in helping us have a wonderful service for my mother in law. Crystal, Mike, Hugh, Carl, and many others, were there for us, every second of this difficult time. And looking back, I see that you did things we weren’t even aware of at the time, just so we weren’t burdened. You will never know how much we appreciate you. We consider you family.
