The Transfer of Ownership
In April, 2019 I was fortunate enough to purchase Creason Funeral Home. After having been owned by the Creason family for 60 years, the former owners decided it was time to retire and pass the torch. It has been very exciting to take over the funeral home and many changes have been made already. I have started with a complete refresh of the interior. Thus far the furniture and decor have been completely changed. I wanted to have a funeral home that was both stylish and cozy. The addition of 17 Tiffany chandeliers has brought both warmth and beauty to the atmosphere of the funeral home. I have also installed maple plantation shutters on all the interior windows to give it a more modern look. The selection/arrangement conference room is also in the process of undergoing modernization. Gone are the days of many funeral homes having full-size caskets displayed. To maximize space and appeal to changing consumer tastes, the full-size caskets have been replaced with small sections mounted on one wall. This has made room for modern shelving that will hold a very large selection of cremation merchandise including urns and keepsakes.
The outside of the funeral home is currently in the process of much change. Within the coming days, we will have a double sided LED display sign installed on the eastern lawn. This new sign will display all of our service information as well as community and church announcements. We are very excited about this investment in the funeral home and in Millstadt. The exterior of the building will be repainted and some repair work will be completed beginning October 1, 2019. We will be eliminating the flower boxes and changing the building’s exterior color. Speaking of flower boxes, while they will be gone, we are very excited that Josh Casey, professional landscaper, has been selected to install a full garden on the eastern lawn and in the front of the funeral home. Josh’s designs are simply stunning and we very much look forward to the breathtaking work he has planned. Stay tuned for that, it will be well worth the wait!
I am so honored to be the owner of Creason Funeral Home and to be entrusted to care for the loved ones of my client families. This is a responsibility that I take very seriously and am humbled beyond words to be chosen to care for those I serve. My commitment to quality and service in embedded in all aspects of the funeral home. My staff and I are very grateful to have the opportunity to serve all families who call on us during their time of need. We are here for you.
