Our History

Stanfill Funeral Home has been an important and significant part of our community since 1956. The funeral home was established by W. L. Philbrick with Steve L. Stanfill, Jr. as manager. Through Steve Stanfill's years of hard work and commitment, Philbrick Funeral Home became Philbrick-Stanfill Funeral Home and then Stanfill Funeral Home. Stanfill Funeral Home soon became synonymous with quality and caring service.

Following the death of Steve L. Stanfill, Jr. in 2002, per his request, the funeral home continued under the ownership of his long-term funeral directors and his son.
