Typically, a memorial commemorates the anniversary of a person’s death, his or her birthday, or other special day. Families usually choose to publish an obituary immediately after a person’s death, as a means of announcing service times and other information to the person’s friends and community. Please contact Kelly Allen at (828) 232-5984 or 1-800-800-4204, ext. 5984, for rates and further information on memorials.
