Hello all,
I hope everyone is staying safe during this terrible storm. I wanted to repost Ken Wingett's obituary and draw your attention to the change in times for his visitation and service.

Thank you and be safe!!

Wishing everyone peace this holiday season and thinking of the many families who will struggle this year with loss.

Christmas is a difficult time for people who are grieving.

Exciting Improvements Underway!!
The funeral home is pleased to announce that we have recently begun repaving of our parking lot and driveways. We have also replaced the aging interlocking bricks with poured concrete. The paving is expected to be fully completed in about two weeks and the concrete will have its final finish applied in three weeks. In the meantime, Tony Niemann is doing an amazing job making our gardens look beautiful. Thanks Tony!!

It is with overwhelming and immeasurable grief we announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Tammy Underwood, on Saturday April 10, 2021. Tammy joined the Hendren Team 7 years ago, though many of us have known her for far longer, through her extensive involvement and volunteering in this community she loves.
Our hearts are with her husband Steve, her 3 children, Kendra, Jake and Alexis, her parents, family and the many many close friends she leaves behind, as well as with each other at this very difficult time.
5 years ago, Tammy wanted to further serve her community by becoming a funeral director and helping so many of the families she knows, as well as those she’d just met, through a difficult loss. We could all now use Tammy’s caring and compassionate support, as we sit stunned by her untimely and sudden death.
Many people imagine that because of our line of work, we are better equipped to deal with loss but, as each member of our Hendren family grieves and feels the pain of losing our friend, each one of us having a unique bond with Tammy, we know this isn’t the case.
We love you Tammy. You have touched so many lives so deeply and you are greatly missed.

Funeral arrangement information will follow when available.
