Please know when you choose Thomas Funeral Home, your choosing one of your own. From pre-arrangements to the final services at the cemetery and support beyond the funeral, you will be involved with one person and one person only……me, Billy Thomas. Thomas Funeral Home is a locally owned funeral home run by a local family.

Pre-planning your funeral can be very informal, and as simple as jotting down your preferences and sharing your wishes with a family member. More formal arrangements in the form of a preneed contract can be set up with us and can be pre-funded through life insurance, bank trust agreement, or another method.

Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral can make a lot of sense.

In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for planning their own funerals:

* Lets your wishes be known.
* Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time.
* Saves money
* Guarantees your family will not have to pay more for your funeral - no matter what happens with inflation.
* Shows you care.
* Relieves your loved ones of the financial responsibility.


Some families have already taken the important step of preplanning their funerals and have asked, “Can I transfer my prearrangements”? YES, for no additional cost.
