Our Services

At Mackey-Wright Funeral Home, we understand that every individual is unique and that their passing requires a personalized approach to honoring their life. We offer a wide range of services that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each family. These services include traditional funeral services, graveside services, memorial services, direct cremation, and pre-planning arrangements.

Our team of compassionate professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional care and attention to every detail of the funeral arrangements. We take the time to listen to the family's needs and preferences, and work closely with them to create a memorable tribute that reflects the life and legacy of their loved one.

Traditional Funeral Services

Our traditional funeral services include a visitation, funeral service, and burial. The visitation provides an opportunity for friends and family to pay their respects and offer condolences to the bereaved. The funeral service is a time to celebrate the life of the deceased and honor their memory. Our large chapel provides ample space for family and friends to gather and participate in the service.

Graveside Services

Graveside services are an alternative to traditional funeral services. They are held at the cemetery where the deceased will be buried. This option may be preferred by families who wish to have a simple and intimate ceremony to say their final goodbyes.

Memorial Services

Memorial services are a way to honor the memory of a loved one without the presence of their body. This option may be preferred by families who choose cremation or for those who wish to hold a service at a later date or in a different location.

Direct Cremation

Direct cremation is an option for families who prefer cremation over traditional burial. Our staff will handle all the arrangements, including transportation of the deceased to the crematory, and return the cremated remains to the family.

Pre-Planning Arrangements

Pre-planning arrangements provide families with the opportunity to plan and pay for funeral services in advance. This option can help alleviate the stress and burden of making funeral arrangements during a time of grief and uncertainty.

At Mackey-Wright Funeral Home, we are committed to providing exceptional service, compassionate care, and personalized attention to every family we serve. We understand that the loss of a loved one is a difficult and emotional time, and we are here to provide support and guidance every step of the way.
