Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home and Crematory

Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home and Crematory We serve families ONE AT A TIME giving special care to the individual needs and desires of each. OUR MOTTO IS SERVICE, TRUST, AND SOLID REPUTATION.

Elmore-Hill-McCreight Funeral Home and Crematory having been in business for over 25 years finds its mission statement today the same as it was the day our doors opened. Our first and foremost concern is to SERVE our families beginning with the first call received from a family until the service has been completed in its entirety. At Elmore-Hill-McCreight Funeral Home and Crematory a service does not end at the cemetery or crematory. Our service continues as we assist families in the completion of their paperwork including government forms, insurance and the filing of required documents which enables them to obtain benefits and funds for which they are entitled. One of our priorities in serving military families in our community is the thoughtful and detailed planning of coordinating funeral services and transportation to locations throughout the world. Likewise, we provide the same services to local families wishing to return their loved ones to our community. Detailed attention is also given to AfterCare for our families which includes thoughtful correspondence from our home to yours. Our firm is always open to suggestions from our families for ways in which we can improve our services.
