"Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of the people, their respect for the law of the land and their loyalties to high morals."

- Sir William Gladstone

Announcement: Multiple Scams Reported

Please be aware that J.C. Harwell & Son Funeral Home will never reach out to you to gain personal or banking information. Our funeral home will never call you to pay a bill or deposit of any kind over the telephone.

Using recently published obituaries, the scammer, posing as a member of our staff, calls families and tells them they owe another $1,000 (or some other amount) for the service. The scammers get very specific, using the name of the decedent, the funeral home name and even the names of specific funeral directors. Some families that have been targeted realized something didn't seem right and hung up on the scammer, later calling the funeral home directly to confirm their bill was paid in full. Unfortunately, others didn't realize they were being targeted and sent money to the scammer. In a twist on this scam, predators are also contacting families to say that a "security deposit" of $1,500 (or some other amount) is needed for their preneed account. The scammers threaten that if the deposit isn't paid immediately, the funeral home cannot guarantee that the service will take place. Another scam alert is regarding a caller posing as an employee of the funeral home to do a survey about a recent funeral. The person is awarded a gift card for participating in the survey. The caller then asks for a credit card in order to give them credit. Please note again this is not our funeral home. This is a scam and do not give out your credit card information. We advise that if you do receive a call like this, please report it to law enforcement.

Thank you for visiting our website,

Tommy and Mary Evelyn Davis
