Why choose
Spicer-Mullikin?
What Can Spicer-Mullikin
Offer You?
When someone you love dies, your world
changes in an instant.
Compassion, grief counseling, affordability,
and a long-term relationship.
At Spicer-Mullikin we understand this. We
take our commitment to you very personally –
In everything we do and say. Our service
reflects your love.
Expert guidance for traditional funeral services
and cremation service.
A Spicer-Mullikin service means no detail is left
unattended. The families we serve know they
are our only focus – which is why we have been
in business for well over one hundred years.
We help you plan a funeral, we help you cope
with grief, and we help you move forward with
your lives – Nothing is more important to us
than helping YOU.
Spicer-Mullikin is the only funeral home in the
region that has a professional grief counselor
on staff. Some families still participate in our
grief counseling support after 20 years.
We are proud to be a family-owned business
and we treat you like family. Our job is that
personal to us.
“I was too shattered to think straight.
Matthew Smith and his staff took care of
every small detail and provided my dad with
a beautiful, memorable goodbye. I am so
grateful to Spicer-Mullikin for all their care.”

Spicer-Mullikin Services
Immediate Need Funerals – When a loved
one dies unexpectedly, or when a funeral is
not planned in advance, an immediate or atneed service is provided. We take you step by
step through the process, helping you make
decisions during a difficult time.
Pre-Planning Services – Making decisions in
advance of a death can typically be easier to
manage due to the absence of the emotional
trauma of a loss. Careful and personal
consideration can be given to one’s funeral
service, cemetery and expenses – minimizing
tough decisions in the future. We assure you
and your family that the choices you make will
be carried out as planned.
Grief Counseling – We have a grief counselor/
aftercare coordinator as a member of our team,
who will be honored to work with you through
your grieving process.
Green Burials – This option follows the tradition
of “ashes to ashes and dust to dust,” since bodies
and green caskets decompose and turn back into
soil. It is as harmless as possible to the environment.
So much to think about.
So much to do.
