Funeral Services - Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Homes & Crematory

Funeral Services

Funeral services offer support, continuity and hope. They help families find strength and healing through community and ritual.

When a loved one dies, a funeral service provides a dignified and respectful tribute to their life and an opportunity for family and friends to say goodbye. Whether you choose to bury or cremate your loved one, our licensed funeral directors at Spicer-Mullikin will take you step-by-step through the process.

We make sure that your loved one has a personalized service as unique as they are.

At Spicer-Mullikin, one of our most important obligations to each family we serve is to help them navigate a sad and challenging time in their lives. We do this with care and compassion. We offer each family the opportunity to have a life celebration like no other, and share their fondest memories of their loved one.
