The staff of Bradley & Son Funeral Homes carries our passion for personalized, extraordinary care to every arrangement. We listen to each person’s unique story and create a service to ensure each and every life is well remembered.

We do this by getting to know each and every family deeply.

A Life Well Remembered

We love to tell a life’s story. We’ve staged theater and stadium backdrops, hired antique horse and carriages, set up cafes, cigar bars, hot dog stands, and putting greens. We’ve given away recipe cards to honor bakers, seeds for gardeners, tools for handymen, and monogrammed golf balls for golf lovers. Please take a few minutes to read some of our favorite life stories.
