    About Us

    Good Shepherd Funeral Home was founded by the Jennings family in 1930, and a legacy of compassion and care for grieving families was established. When the time came for the original founders to pass on their legacy to the next generation, the Jennings family chose their most selfless, faithful, and experienced funeral director, Andy McGuire. The McGuire family strives to uphold the principles and virtue that has been entrusted to us. We are honored to serve your family generation after generation with outstanding service, great quality, and reliable prices. We stand behind everything we do with honesty and integrity.

    CREMATION SERVICES

    Cremation has become a popular option for many people because it can be more flexible as to where and when you hold a service. You can have a traditional funeral service before a cremation or a memorial service at any time with or without the urn present. You can keep the urn, scatter the ashes or have the urn buried in a grave or columbarium where we can hold a service. Whether you choose burial or cremation, we’re here to offer you a meaningful ceremony.

    VETERAN

    The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran. The type of Funeral Honors may be Full Military Honors, 7 Person Detail or a Standard Honors Team Detail. At least one of the funeral honors detail will be from the Armed Force in which the deceased veteran served. Taps may be played by a bugler or, if a bugler is not available, by using a quality recorded version. Military Funeral Honor Teams may act as Pall Bearers if requested by the veteran/family.

    PRE-PLANNING

    The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.

    Pre-payment will protect you from the rising cost of prices, and it will not be a financial burden on your loved ones. When you plan ahead you know that your wishes will be fulfilled.
