Immediate Arrangements

Many decisions must be made when you lose a loved one, and we offer caring and professional support to guide you through that process while you grieve. Please call our Columbia office at 573.443.2273 (or the H.T. May & Son Funeral Home location nearest you) to speak in person with a trained funeral director.

Funeral Pre-Planning

Today more than ever, people are choosing to pre-plan or prepay for their own funeral arrangements. Such planning helps prevent the surviving family members from having to make arrangements on short notice, reduces emotional strain and helps to ensure that the wishes of the deceased will be respected.
