Longtime local business owners and funeral directors Alan W. Beard and Frank Giles have announced a significant expansion to their funeral services with the opening of Pennyroyal Crematory—the first crematorium in Christian County.
As co-owners of Hughart, Beard & Giles Funeral Home, Dogwood Funerals & Cremations of Hopkinsville, and Dogwood Funerals & Cremations of Crofton, Beard and Giles said the new addition will offer families a seamless and trusted experience when saying goodbye to loved ones.
In a written statement, Giles said they understand saying goodbye is never easy, and that Alan and he are “glad to be able to offer this next level of service for the families that entrust their loved ones” in their care.
The opening of Pennyroyal Crematory ensures that families who have turned to Beard & Giles’s funeral homes over the past 135 years can now receive complete care without their loved ones ever leaving the compassionate circle of service the community has come to trust.
Beard also noted that they are here to make a difficult time as simple and comforting as possible, and that they will continue to guide the way throughout with their professional services. Adding Pennyroyal Crematory, he said, means you’ll also have peace of mind that your loved one is treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
Pennyroyal Crematory services will be available exclusively through Hughart, Beard & Giles Funeral Homes and Dogwood Funerals & Cremations. For more information, visit their websites or call 270-886-9451.
