Thomas Keight — Founder
Thomas Keight started this business with a belief that every person deserves to leave this world with dignity, regardless of circumstance. He built not just a funeral home, but a reputation — one earned quietly, family by family, over four decades.
The biggest skill an undertaker can have is compassion. Thomas built a business on that principle, and it remains the foundation of everything we do today.
