Our Family Serving Your Family
PURSE BROTHERS, early 1900's in Detroit, Michigan   We are proud of the fact that we are a FAMILY OWNED business.  What does this mean to you?  This means that we answer to you.  You are our boss, not shareholders.  This means that we do not have to pay a million dollar salary to a CEO, which always results in inflated funeral prices.  This means that you will never have to deal with a pre-need counselor who works on commission.  This means that we do all of our own work.  We never rely on a removal service or an out of town tradesman to do our embalming.  With the Purse Family, there is never a risk that your loved one will be placed into the hands of a stranger.        Barry Purse   Gil Purse (1939 - 2008)   Gary Purse   Franklin Lennox   1911 - 2005  Frank was a 60 year licensed Funeral Director and avid gun collector.  Don Welch  -  Associate "Welch the Cleaner"  Well known retired Adrian businessman.       Jack Tonneberger - Organist and also a family member Alberto Flores - Associate     Rolan Kirkendall    1950 - 2006 Dennis Kirkendall - Associate  Rolan unexpectedly passed away last year.  He is greatly missed.
