History

Today our funeral chapel is known as Whitehurst-Norton-Dias Funeral Service.

Funeral preparations are never easy and never thought I would have to make them so suddenly. The ladies at Whitehurst-Norton-Dias made an unimaginable difficult time, more bearable with their help and compassion. I am glad I chose to go with them and recommend them to anyone who needs these services.
