Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who sacrificed for our country. Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten, and we are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

Talking about the end of your life isn’t easy, but our licensed pre-arrangement counselors have the experience to make you feel comfortable pre-planning. Pre-planning can ensure your wishes are clear, and can also free your family from financial concerns at a stressful time. https://ow.ly/WK2150RQMgZ

At Spicer-Mullikin, we offer green burial options that honor your loved one and our Earth. Let's make every day Earth Day by embracing eco-conscious choices. https://ow.ly/R7J150RiwvW
