At Wheeler Funeral Homes, our mission is to help make a difficult time in ones life as stress-free as possible during the process of making funeral arrangements, whether they are pre-planned, at-need, or cremation. We strive toward making a person’s funeral or memorial service deeply personal, and welcome families to share with us as much information as they can about their loved one so that we may provide the most meaningful ceremony possible.

Once you begin the arrangement process with Wheeler Funeral Homes, we will handle many of the other arrangements, relieving you from extra burdens during such difficult time.

The following are just some of the services that we provide:

• Preparing the obituary for the newspaper
