Strode Funeral Home

Services Just as each person and family is unique, so is each funeral or memorial service. We believe that a visitation and funeral or memorial service should be about the person whose life has ended, and 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. Services may be personalized in many ways. Families may choose to include special memorabilia, pictures, art objects, or hobby items. Favorite music of all types, even vehicles or special places can be part of the service. We welcome and respect your thoughts and ideas. We listen carefully to the wishes of a family and from that conversation 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.
