Westhaven Memorial Funeral Home, Inc. was founded February 17,1996. Contrary to most business developments, Westhaven was developed out of faith and a commitment to service. All of the partners had prior experience in the funeral home and insurance business. However, we had not considered ownership of a funeral home.

We considered it a divine intervention that such an opportunity was presented to us. The owner of the building, formerly Breland Funeral Home, who was interested in expanding and relocating approached us to determine our interest in purchasing the building.

By faith and prayer we began the process in developing a business plan. With our personal investments, savings and loans from other financial institutions, Westhaven was conceived and developed into an operation where our motto is: "Professional Service You Can Depend On." Meeting the needs of the community Westhaven has been a six (6) year success.

Additionally, Westhaven offers innovative service and amenities including the Westhaven Choir, which offers benefit performances throughout the community, at churches, funerals, hospitals, nursing and personal care homes.
