LOCALLY-OWNED

When choosing a funeral home, you may want to find whether the business is owned by local individuals or run by a large corporation. Additionally, one should know whether the owners of a firm are trained and licensed funeral directors. There is a difference.

During the past twenty years, publicly-owned corporations have been consolidating the funeral business similarly to what has occurred in other businesses. Recently, this trend has reversed, because the corporately-owned funeral homes have simply not measured up to the service that families receive from locally-owned funeral homes.

Historically, funeral services have been provided by generations of local funeral director-owners who have deep roots in their community. When dealing with such an important event, turning to a funeral director whom you know and trust can make a world of difference. A home-owned firm will give you the personal attention and caring that you deserve, and the extra support that you will need after the funeral is over. You will also receive the outstanding professionalism that only generations of service can cultivate.

Starrett Funeral Home has been home-owned and operated since 1891. We are proud to be an independent funeral home that has served the Paris area for over 115 years.
