Welcome

Welcome to the Watson Mortuary Service, Inc. Web site. We are proud to be one of the only funeral homes owned and operated by lifelong residents of the area. All of our staff are also local residents and they possess many years of local knowledge, serving every family with care, compassion and concern. At Watson Mortuary Service, we take pride in simple personal touches such as answering the phones 24 hours a day, visitations with owner present and customized funeral and cremation care.

Our goal is to provide you with the various choices available regarding the funeral process, and offer helpful information about ourselves, all in a forum that lets you set your own pace and be your own guide.

If death has occurred or you’d like to plan ahead, our Immediate Need and PrePlan Online Forms can help you start the process online, in the comfort of your home. You can add as much as you can and the information will be immediately sent to one of our directors.
