Allen Brothers Mortuary - Vista Chapel FD-1120
The Allen Brothers Family gives your loved one the same caring, compassionate and professional services we provide to our own families. We have been assisting families with sound advice and caring services at their times of personal loss since 1964. We know we help most by listening and providing choices.
Allen Brothers Mortuary, Inc. is a full service mortuary and offers Traditional, Graveside, or Memorial Services in your choice of Burial or Cremation plans. We will handle all the transportation details if your loved one passes away out of the area and will be buried or cremated locally, as well as all the details if your family member will be transported out of the area. We assist our families with Social Security and Veterans issues and accept insurance assignments.
As a full service mortuary, we know that the emotional stress of arranging a funeral within days of losing a loved one can be overwhelming. Perhaps the greatest gift each of us can give our family is to relieve them of this burden by pre-planning our own funeral. Pre-planning allows your loved ones to reflect upon the memories of your life rather than the details of your death. We offer complimentary preneed planning and keep your choices on file at the mortuary for use by your family upon your death. The Preneed Consultants at Allen Brothers Mortuary focus on finding the best options for each family we serve if you choose to prepay your arrangements.
We've been chosen by families who have lived here for generations; families who have come to know and trust us over the years. You see, unlike funeral homes owned by far away corporations, we have a commitment to our community. After all, our roots are here too! Because decisions on running the funeral home happen right here in your community, your needs are met quickly and our services are customized to your choices.
Your calls are answered by one of our Allen Brothers staff 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - you'll never get an answering service or a machine. When you need us, we're just a phone call away and we're here to help!
CHOICES ~ IT'S YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE THEM.
IT WILL BE OUR PRIVILEGE TO CARRY THEM OUT.
