Not Your Average Funeral Home

We were excited to learn all about Holden Cremation And Funeral Service and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Matt Holden.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Holden Cremation And Funeral Service stand apart from their competitors. Matt told us that they always believe in putting the families first and that they do a lot to personalize and take care of each individual family that comes to them. He said:

“We do a lot of personalization. We aren’t a traditional funeral home in the sense that we approach each family differently. We are a smaller facility, and we encourage people to do memorials at their church or with their friends and family; we encourage them to save as much as they can.”

Matt continued by telling us about how taking care of their employees helps them to also take care of the families who come to them:

“We don’t ever ask anything of our employees that we wouldn’t do ourselves. That keeps the morale up, so they try harder, which means they can focus on the struggles that each family is going through, so they try harder to be at their beck and call.”

Building Success by Focusing on Families

Holden Cremation And Funeral Service has earned a wonderful reputation, which Matt says is thanks almost entirely to word of mouth.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Holden Cremation And Funeral Service has managed to. We asked if Matt could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Focus on the people first, and the rest will just come.”


Congratulations to Holden Cremation And Funeral Service for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Matt for taking the time to speak with us!
