About Us
The Morton Funeral Home was established by Howard D. Morton in 1932. At that time, the funeral home was also used as the home base for Mr. Morton’s ambulance service. Upon Mr. Morton’s retirement (in the late 1950s), Virgil L. Howard purchased the funeral parlor from his father-in-law, Mr. Morton. Upon Mr. Howard’s retirement on June 1, 1984, Kevin and Patricia Dusenbury purchased the Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home from Virgil and Betty Howard.
Like our predecessors, we pride ourselves in offering dignified and compassionate service at your greatest hour of need. We are extremely thankful for those who place the greatest trust of all in another human being, which is the trust to care for a loved one. At our firm, we do not take that honor lightly. We will do anything in our capacity to create the unique and memorable service to suit your individual wishes.
