Description
An Open Letter to Families and Friends My name is Larry Buchanan and my family and I operate Macon Funeral Home. I do my best to follow in the footsteps of Bruce Bryant and my father, Branch Buchanan, who helped found this funeral home in 1991. We take tremendous pride in serving our families. My family has served Macon County in different businesses for more than fifty years. We do our best everyday to gain that trust and demonstrate our commitment to the community. Part of what we do can be downright difficult. The staff and I are always ready to help in times of sorrow and tragedy. It’s what we do. But we get just as much satisfaction by helping our neighbours make smart decisions and protect their families. Our crematory is located right here on our property and is open for your inspection at any time. Macon Funeral Home will happily honor prearranged funeral plans from other funeral homes, including the Bryant Mutual Burial Association and Potts Mutual Burial Association benefit. Our doors opened in 1992 to give our neighbours more options for funeral care, and we don’t believe that anyone should be limited by having made prior decisions. Stop by and visit with me or Brian Hylton. We can discuss the choices you've made with the prearranged funeral plan you have in place. We can also help you make some smart choices if you have not yet made a funeral plan. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us and we will set up a convenient time to get together. Many people have the best intentions of taking care of prearranging their funeral “Someday.” The problem is that, for most people, “Someday” never happens. Instead, their loved ones are stuck with the task of making a series of important decisions during a time when they should just be coping with their grief and taking care of themselves. They have to make decisions under time pressures and the emotional difficulties that they place on themselves. I guide them the best I can during these times, but let’s face it, I can’t tell them what you would want. And it can be a real hardship on a family to come up with funding for funeral expenses. Why place that burden on your spouse or your family? The best way to protect them is for you to sit down with us and plan out what you want. You not only save immeasurable stress on your family, but you will also minimize any financial hardship on them funding the funeral in advance. And you know what else? It makes smart financial sense. Like any other business, our costs keep going up. As a result, funerals will always be more expensive in the future than they are today. You’ll also prevent your family from overspending and stressing their own finances. You can also transfer your paid-up funeral plan or mutual burial association membership to us for full credit. Just imagine what relief you could be offering your loved ones by taking care of this one, inescapable fact of life. Most of the time, one meeting is all it takes to put things together. The purpose of this message is to invite you to visit with us, so we can show you how simple and straightforward it can be. In exchange, we pledge the following: You will not be pressured to make arrangements or decisions that aren’t right for you. You will know exactly what the costs are for the services you've chosen before you sign anything. You are free to take us up on this offer anytime. Just be sure not to put off this very important meeting to “Someday.” With warmest regards, Larry Buchanan Macon Funeral Home

The staff at Macon Funeral Home are very professional, compassionate, and helpful. I worked with Brian primarily, but each person was equally competent and friendly. We came in from out of town to handle arrangements and Brian was very accommodating to a compressed schedule, gave us all the information and contacts we needed to begin settling the estate, and had great suggestions to our questions and concerns. This is not pleasant business for those of us going through it, but the staff were very supportive and I recommend Macon Funeral Home to anyone in need.

I am grateful for the recommendation I received to use Macon Funeral Home! Their staff is compassionate, professional, and easy to work with. I am especially thankful to Funeral Director Rodney Sanders. He presented us with multiple options, and allowed our family time to evaluate them without any pressure. When various external issues arose, he found ways to minimize or eliminate them. He helped us navigate this very difficult and emotional time with a calming demeanor, removing any anticipated stress. I had a very positive experience and offer a wholehearted recommendation.

Macon Funeral Home caried for our families and loved ones during the most difficult time in our lives. Taking so much of the burden away gave us time to spend with our family as we grieved. We could focuse on other matters of importance. Death is never easy to talk about. But one of the most important decisions famlies can make. Macon Funeral gave us the all the resourses to make the right decision for our familes. Trust is hard to come by especialy for your family. But Macon Funeral Home has earned our trust and we feel they deserve your trust as well.

Thank you for all the care and support you have shown us during this time of heartbreak with the loss of my mother. I appreciated the guidance every step of the way to make sure my mom's funeral was what she would want, working with us and the church on every detail. Thank you for making arrangements for both my parents at Bay pines National Cemetery in St Petersburg Fl to finally be placed to rest together as they requested. You all brought peace and comfort to a difficult time. I appreciated all that you do. Maribeth Bader

While vacationing in the area, our infant son passed away. We dealt with Brian Hylton throughout the process. He was a ray of light in a very dark time, and our family cannot thank him enough. He made the process as painless as possible and went above and beyond.
