We were saddened to learn that Hardesty Funeral Home has closed after many years of serving our community. Their care touched generations, and we honor the legacy they leave behind. We also hold deep respect for the Hardesty family and staff, and for the comfort they provided to so many.
To the families who have trusted Hardesty, and to those with existing prearrangements, please know you are not alone in this moment of transition. The Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory team is here to welcome you, listen, and provide clarity and support. We are also available to assist you with the process of transferring your contract and ensuring that you can be confident once again that your final wishes will be fulfilled.
It is an honor to care for this community, and we are here when you need us.
