The brick home was built in 1856 for a local banker's residence. Around the turn of the century the building was used as a boarding house and was given the name of "The Brass Belle". In 1941 Gatewood and Pearl Beazley purchased the house and converted it into a funeral home. Pearl Beazley owned and operated the funeral home, along with the occasional partners, for 45 years.
The funeral home closed in 1985 due to Mrs. Beazley's retirement. In 1998 the Spurlin family purchased the house from the Beazley heirs in order to return the old home to funeral home. The Spurlin Family is proud to be a locally owned and operated funeral home in Stanford, Kentucky. The caring and experienced professionals at Spurlin Funeral Home are here to support you through this difficult time.

Veterans Overview
Report
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
Veterans Headstones
Report
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
Veterans Burial Flags
Report
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
