communities with compassion and an understanding manner during the worst time
in their lives: the passing of a loved one. Born and reared in Royston,
Georgia, James graduated with honors from Gupton-Jones College of Mortuary
Science in Atlanta and is certain that the main goal of a funeral service

who are in need of a funeral director.

Church. He has also been the coroner of Screven County since the 1990s.

County all his life. He and his lovely wife have been married since the late

Embalmer and Funeral Director
Raised
