A Funeral Home Service is a Celebration of a person who lived, loved and laughed. Their funeral should be as individual as they were in life, keeping with their lifestyle and traditions. Grier & Pat Ivie, Licensed Funeral Directors & the Staff of Ivie Funeral Home are here to serve you one family at a time, 24 hours a day. Please call our funeral home anytime. In addition to explaining our family funeral home business to you, we offer you the opportunity to view Ivie Funeral Home Obituaries and Funerals from Murphy, Andrews & Hayesville and the surrounding tri-state area. You may also sign the Ivie Funeral Home Online Guest Books to send condolence messages to families. |

Family Owned and Operated for Three Generations

"Unlike funeral homes
that are part of large corporations, Ivie Funeral Home belongs to Selected Independent Funeral Homes and has been caring for friends and neighbors for generations in the Murphy area." |
|
In recent years, there has been an alarming trend toward consolidation in the funeral home industry. Many neighborhood funeral homes thought to be locally owned, are often owned by national, publicly-traded corporations, which can lead to less personal service from a business that may be more dependent upon the investment community rather than the local community.
If local ownership and knowledge of local traditions matter to you, you should ask who owns and operates the funeral home you are considering. Please also, see the Ivie Links page for helpful information for planning a funeral and grief support. |
"It is important to recognize that funerals are for the living - for those who will suffer the trauma of losing a loved one. It is through the funeral process that emotional needs are served for those who grieve."
"A funeral is similar to other major lifetime ceremonies. Like a graduation, a wedding, or a baptism. A funeral is a rite of passage by which we pay tribute to an important milestone in our lives."
