Happy One Year Anniversary to Advocate associate member Gamble Mortuary Transport, LLC. We’re on the move!

One year ago today, Gamble Mortuary Transport was formed. It started out as a “one man and a cot” removal service, but in September, we took a leap of fatih and became a 24/7, 365 day removal service. We are so thankful for all of our customers who are keeping us on the road and making us one of the top choice removal services in the state of Alabama.

We have been called upon to serve 8 funeral establishments in Alabama, and Georgia, and have done 64 Removals. (4,770 Loaded Miles)

It's not just a job for us, but a calling to serve grieving families with not only compassion, but dignity and respect.

Happy Birthday, Gamble Mortuary!

Honoring Our Heroes at Alabama National Cemetery — Wreaths Across America

Today at the Alabama National Cemetery in Montevallo, community members, veterans, families, and volunteers gathered for the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony to remember our fallen service members and honor those who served.

Participants placed wreaths on the graves of military veterans as part of the nationwide tradition to remember the fallen, honor those who served, and teach future generations the value of freedom. Hundreds of wreaths adorned the resting places of those who dedicated their lives to our country — a powerful reminder of their sacrifice and service. 

This event is part of the national Wreaths Across America observance held each December, with thousands of locations taking part. More than 12,000 wreaths were placed at Alabama National Cemetery, with millions placed nationwide.
