West Virginia Funeral Supplies Company

West Virginia Funeral Supplies Company, a brief history.

Our founder, Phillmore H***n, was born in 1833 to Abstinence and Dr. Buster H***n. Being an inquisitive and precocious young child, his father began schooling him in medicine at the meager age of 12. Phillmore, being a driven and highly intelligent young man, graduated from Marshall University at the age of 22. Working in medicine at the time was difficult for young Phillmore. He despised death, predominately due to the grief and pain it caused the families that incurred the loss. Sadly death was a common occurrence. Medicine was, to say the least, primitive and often times caused more harm than good. Then in 1859 an idea came to Dr. P. H***n. Instead of trying to save the lives of the sick and wounded, he would instead try to save the lives of those grieving the loss of a loved one. By 1860 West Virginia Funeral Supplies Company opened up for business with one mission in mind. To quote our founder: “For every life lost, I vow to save others from the living death that is heartache and grief!” He couldn’t have started his business at a better time, as the darkest hour in American history, the Civil War, was looming on the horizon. So here we are, over 150 years later, and though West Virginia Funeral Supplies Company has changed, the mission our founder set out to accomplish remains our foremost priority. We don’t just care about your dearly deceased, we care about you. We offer a vast array of supplies and services to suit your needs, and bring joy to your despondent heart. West Virginia Funeral Supplies Company, making life easier by making death simpler.
