    To the Family of Rose Graves, I am sorry for your loss. May Jehovah God strenghten you and your family during this time. Jehovah does give you and your family a hope for the future. You will see Ms. Graves again. At Revelation 21:4 it says this “And he [Jheovah] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” So Jehovah is going to rid you and all the world of mankind of suffering such as pain, mourning and death which is the enemy. Not only those things but also growing old, depression and all other things that cause mankind sadness and suffering. I do hope these words of comfort help you. May Jehovah God be with you.

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.
