Arthur H. Wright Funeral Home

As we look forward to a new year and the start of our 131th year in business, we are excited to announce the completion of our new chapel. It has a seating capacity of 200+, while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. We believe we succeeded in blending the new addition with the charm of the original 1898 building. The former chapel has been repurposed into a reception area where families can gather for food and fellowship. Phase 1 of our parking lot project has been completed and has doubled our parking capacity. Phase 2 will continue this spring. An Open House is planned in the spring. More details to come soon.
