Read our story →Ten private acres. A farmhouse built nearly two centuries ago. A barn turned into something your family will remember.
The main building at 6125 Houston Road is a residential farmhouse built in 1828 — nearly 200 years old, thoughtfully repurposed to give families a warm, unhurried place to gather. Original character. Modern comfort. Nothing that feels like an institution.
The barn on the property was transformed into a chapel unlike anything else in Middle Georgia. Natural timber, private grounds, an atmosphere as personal as the family it serves. Families who hold services here tell us it is unlike anything they expected — and exactly what they needed.
From the most traditional to the simplest cremation. Nothing is added that you did not ask for. Nothing is left out that matters.
Planning a funeral in advance is one of the kindest things you can do for the people you love. It removes a hundred small decisions from a day that will already be hard.
There is no cost to sit with us. No paperwork is signed unless you ask. We will come to your kitchen table if that is easier.
