Who we are

Celebrating life since 2017

As a proud member of the Pontotoc community since 2017, we're honored to help families celebrate their loved ones. We pledge to ensure that every funeral and memorial service is deeply personal, fostering healing and remembrance.

What we stand for

Our promise

Dignity

Every life is unique, and we promise to honor and respect each journey, crafting ceremonies that reflect each individual.

Guidance

Navigating grief can be overwhelming; we stand by you, providing direction and solace every step of the way.

Legacy

Beyond a service, we're committed to helping families create lasting tributes that transcend generations.

Our story

Dignity Funeral Home and Mortuary Services, Inc. was founded in 2017 with the goal of providing affordable, quality funeral and mortuary services to Pontotoc County and the surrounding areas in north Mississippi.  We were blessed to acquire the space that the late Kenneth I Roberson provided services from and it has been our aim to continue the same high-quality level of service that Mr. Roberson provided this area for many years.

One of our Founders, the Reverend Christopher Farr trained with the late Mr. Tommy Beasley from whom he acquired tremendous knowledge of the funeral business, quality of services, and the caring of families that depend on us during their time of need.  Though Reverend Farr left us far too soon, he left behind those lessons and that knowledge with us to carry on what he had helped us start.  We are working hard to continue the same high-quality service that Chris would have expected if he were here with us every day. 

We will continue to provide affordable, quality funeral and mortuary services for those that entrust us with the final services of their loved ones.

We will continue to bring “Dignity to the Passing of Your Loved Ones…”
