Samuel Dixon McCully was the first undertaker and funeral director in Idaville, Indiana located at the northwest corner of Main and U.S. Hwy 24. He began as a carpenter and then also became an undertaker sometime in the late 1870's. The McCully's were one of the founders of Idaville in 1860. Samuel McCully was followed by his son, J.H. McCully who later moved to a room on Main St., south of the railroad.
In 1902, Mr. Thompson bought the business from J.H. McCully, but in a short time sold it back to him. L.E. Miller bought the furniture and undertaking business from J.H. McCully in 1920. In 1927, L.E. Miller and Arthur C. Prevo operated an Undertaking Parlor together for about five years. Loran was in business until his death in 1941.

Life Choices
Report
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Why Plan Ahead
Report
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
