The Merritt Funeral Home would like to take this time to extend our sincere thanks to Coroner Crystal Tolbert, the Sheriff’s Department, the Fire Department, and all First Responders of Early County for allowing us to be a part of your Prom Promise Safety Awareness event.

We encourage all parents to remind their children of the importance of making safe choices—especially avoiding drinking and driving. This message extends to all surrounding communities: we want everyone to enjoy a safe and memorable prom experience that will last a lifetime.

We also recognize our staff members who were onsite, Mr. Algin Merritt Sr. and Mr. Carlos Williams. Thank you both for your professionalism and for the continued support you show throughout our surrounding communities.
