Neighbors Helping Neighbors discount

The Strickland Family and Staff of the Joseph A. Strickland Funeral Homes have assisted this community through hard times before. Joseph A. Strickland Funeral Home was founded in 1975, during another hard time in the history of this Great Land. During this time of financial hardship and sickness we wanted to do something to help our neighbors through these hard times. We are proud to announce that on April 1, 2020 we started the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Discount Program.

This program is designed to give back to the community by giving each family that we serve, during the next few months, a $ 700 dollar discount on their loved one’s burial or cremation expenses. This program will run until the end of 2020.

Currently all the families that we serve are being asked by State or Federal Mandate to choose services that may not be exactly what they wished for their loved one.  Hopefully in the coming weeks those mandates will be lessened and we can get back to normal service options. It is our hope with so many laid off or struggling to make it day by day, that this discount will remove some of the stress when it comes time to take care of their loved one’s arrangements. 

With each act of kindness that we can show, we will get through this together, “Neighbor Helping Neighbor”.
