Funeral homes curate a final ceremony that provides space for guests to begin the journey through grief together. This expertise contributes to a meaningful funeral service that gives mourners a chance to say their last farewells. Since 1888, families have turned to Bowen-Donaldson Home for Funerals for care during times of sorrow. Since those early days, it has been our goal to serve families with the highest level of compassion, attention and respect. The funeral service is an important point of closure for those who have suffered a recent loss, often marking just the beginning of collective mourning.
