Roland and Beth Speaks originally founded Speaks funeral home in 1936. Since that time, three generations of family owners have been proud to serve the community, while making sure that the main focus of our staff will always be to honor the needs of the families we serve.

PRE-PLANNING
There are a growing number of reasons why families often find it useful to pre-plan their final wishes. If you don't plan your own services, someone else will have to. And we think it's important enough that you will want to do it yourself so that everything goes just as you would wish. We can tailor a plan that's right for you.
Sitting down as a family, talking about what is important, laughing at favorite memories, sharing family history and traditions, and making plans for the future are all important to many people.
Planning your funeral details in advance can provide the piece of mind of knowing that your family will be cared for after you are gone. If you would like to request an appointment after you have reviewed this information, we would be pleased to have one of our staff go over any additional questions you might have.
We do not engage in high pressure sales tactics and our sole goal is to help you make plans for the future which make sense to you. When the time is right to sit down and make plans we are here to help.
