Services

Just as each person and family is unique, so is each funeral or memorial service. We believe that a visitation and funeral service should be about the person whose life has ended, and be meaningful to those who remain. Families and friends have the opportunity to come together to share a sense of loss, to offer support, and to remember and acknowledge the life of someone they loved.

At Dowell Martin Funeral Home we will assist in personalizing the funeral you select. Families may choose to include special memorabilia, pictures, arts and crafts objects, or hobby items. Favorite music of all types from our piano, organ, or vast music library or your own personal selections may be incorporated into the service you desire. We always welcome and respect your thoughts and ideas. We listen carefully to the wishes of a family and from that conversation we help fashion a service that is fitting and personal. Over the years we have found that the following service options have provided a suitable starting place.
