After 40-plus years in funeral service, Kevin and Susan Billingsley have decided it is time to retire and spend time with family and friends, especially their five grandchildren Wyatt, William, Logan, Emberson and Georgia.<\/p>\n

Kevin and Susan established the Billingsley Funeral Home at 430 Ravenscliffe Road in Huntsville in 1997.<\/p>\n

“With the funeral profession changing and the twenty-four\/seven attention required, we feel it’s time for us to slow our pace down and change course.<\/p>\n

“The funeral home will retain the Billingsley name and continue to operate with the same high standard that we have established for over twenty years. We were always grateful for the trust given to us to handle arrangements for families, and trust that support will in turn be given to Park Lawn Funeral Home Division and Cheryl Kingan, who will handle the day-to-day operations with Darren Growen overseeing as well.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to live in Huntsville which is home and always will be.”<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nSusan and Kevin Billingsley<\/p>\n
