Today, the Shone & Shirley team offers our community a modern service, meeting traditional and family values while giving the families we care for flexibility and freedom of choice on how they want to say good-bye to your loved one.

A beautiful service captures the essence of your loved one and a celebration of their life. At Shone & Shirley, we will help you design a farewell that is a fitting and meaningful memorial. Our staff will do everything they can to help a sad day be a meaningful and positive experience.

There are only a few legal requirements to funerals and the options are as limitless as your or your loved one's imagination.  Being locally owned gives us complete control of what we can offer our community at an affordable cost. Everyone deserves open transparent personal service meeting their needs.

​We understand that everyone's needs are different, and we can provide you with an estimate for the personal service that is tailored to your needs. No two funerals are the same. Our prices include many of the funeral elements that other providers may add on as extras.
