I highly recommend Whitehead Funeral and Cremation Services, due to their meticulous and thoughtful services. They offer an array of traditional funeral services to cremation services with a modern touch and flair. Per my mother's request, it prompted me to meet with the staff for pre-need services and to arrange use of their chapel. At that time, I was provided a thorough tour of the facilities, in addition to a price brochure for all services offered; I left feeling beyond confident in their services. The chapel can hold 120+ people, with a keyboard for traditional musicians, as well as a sound
