Why Us


At the James H. Hunt Funeral Home we are committed to providing reasonably priced superior end-of-life memorial, funeral, and cremation services to all of our families. We come from a heritage of excellence and strive to ensure that all interactions and communications with our clients are done with compassion, honesty, dignity, and respect. We view our work with families as a sacred trust, and make every effort to meet the needs of our clients with different religious beliefs, varying economic ability, and all races.

We strive to be the best, and our trademark funeral and memorial services are proof that we deliver exceptionally beautiful ceremonies. All of our ceremonies include (without extra charge):

  • 8x10 Photos in Ornate Frames of the deceased and other family and friends that are assembled on pedestals of varying heights around the casket (or cremation memorial table). Flowers in baskets and vases are arranged on the pedestals beside the photos. We will also artfully place special keepsakes of the deceased on pedestals as well.
  • A Life Throw Which is Displayed at the Ceremony - a one of a kind work of art (3’x4.5’) designed around the images and symbols that represent the most cherished beliefs, values and accomplishments in your loved one's life. This one of a kind work of art begins with a quality photo and personal information about the deceased. Then your loved one’s life is recreated in a fabulous original display of location art, memories, images, logos and text. The throw is given as a gift to the family after the completion of the service.
  • Custom Embroidered Casket Panel – the panel inside the open lid of the casket is custom embroidered with a design that represents the hobbies, affiliations, and pastimes of the deceased. Your loved one’s name, date of birth/death, military ranking or other personal message can be included on the panel.
