Founded in 1881 by Howard A. Money, then continued on by grandson Francis Howard King and his descendants until recent years, Money & King retains the original family names to reflect the long history and commitment to local ownership. Money & King Funeral Home and Cremation Services is still family owned and operated by Robert and Donnia Carmical who continue helping families on a daily basis.
Independent ownership gives Money & King the flexibility to serve families in ways other funeral homes cannot because they are owned by corporations.
