Skelton Funeral Home

David Skelton began his career in 1973 working for the Stabler family who owned funeral homes in Aliceville and Reform, Al. In 1999 David felt led to begin his own funeral home to better serve the families of Pickens County and surrounding areas. His dream came to a realization in March of 2000 when he opened Skelton Funeral Home.

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.

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.
