Unity Funeral Chapel, Inc.

Cemetery - We offer funerals, cremations, caskets, urns, floral arrangements, and grief counseling.

Unity Funeral Chapel is independently owned and operated by Mary Appling. Most of her career she was employed by corporately owned funeral homes. When she was able to open her own funeral home she made a commitment that there would never be forced sales quotas, uncaring attitudes or outrageous costs for your family that she had experienced at corporately owned funeral homes. The funeral home is under the direction of Mr. Dana McClain, a licensed funeral director and embalmer since 1992. He shares the same philosophy and commitment. Our utmost concern and goal at Unity Funeral Chapel is for your family to find comfort and peace with the services we provide to you. We do not operate like corporately owned “funeral stores" with aggressive sales people and cookie cutter funeral services. We will assist you in designing a funeral service as special and unique as the person and life you are celebrating. We do not want to place a financial burden on any family and will gladly assist with ideas on how to accomplish a respectful funeral service for even the smallest budget. Our concern for your family begins with the first telephone call you make. We do not use an answering service; 24 hours a day you can speak to one of us. We prepare the remains of your loved ones ourselves at our funeral home. We do not use an embalming service; therefore your loved one will never go to a busy embalming center. During your visitation and funeral service we will be there to make sure your every wish is honored. After the funeral we will always be available to assist your family in any way that we can. Because of the way we do business we can personally guarantee that we will meet or exceed all of your expectations.

We have attempted to make our website simple and straightforward. We apologize for not having pictures or online obituaries. Our objective was to give you honest pricing without any hidden or unexpected charges. You are always welcome to come to our funeral home to inspect our facilities, meet our staff and see our merchandise.
