 <\/p>\n

So much of a funeral director\u2019s work happens behind the scenes, tending to tasks that most families won\u2019t ever know about. But these small details make all the difference in providing high quality service. Larry Mitchell, owner of Mitchell Funeral Home<\/a><\/span> in Huntsville, knows that this kind of attentiveness brings necessary comfort during a difficult time; and this commitment is exemplified in how the family creates a sense of home in their facility to ensure guests feel welcome, comfortable and at ease from the moment they arrive.<\/p>\n

That starts when they drive on to the property at 15 High Street<\/a><\/span>. Many may not realize that just behind the funeral home, the Mitchells have on-site, private parking. Their front entryway welcomes all and is fully accessible. \u201cIt was a priority to welcome guests with mobility needs at the front door,\u201d Larry explains. \u201cOur wheelchair entrance used to be at the back, but it was very important to us that everyone, no matter your accessibly needs, enters through the same door. So, we were pleased to make that change to the building. When you come in through our front door, everything you need is on the main level.\u201d The entryway just received a fresh coat of paint, a new railing and furniture, creating a bright and welcoming first impression.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s design has evolved over the years in a very conscientious and deliberate way. \u201cIn my mind, our building is set up in the same way that a funeral is supposed to function,\u201d says Larry. \u201cEach space represents a transition. When you first come in for a visitation, that room transforms into your living room. You\u2019re gathering here, meeting and visiting.\u201d It\u2019s where people share quiet conversation and say final goodbyes. \u201cThen it\u2019s time for the service to begin. Everybody makes the transition from the visitation room that was your \u2018living room\u2019 into the sanctuary that is our chapel.\u201d Having this separate, designated chapel space is getting to be less common in the profession. The chapel has stained glass windows and at the front there are large windows, outside of which is a small garden Larry\u2019s daughter landscaped this past summer. The space can be used for a formal ceremony or simply for quiet, private reflection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re finished in the chapel, then there\u2019s that last shift in mood when guests go across the hall and the reception area is full of conversation, even laughter,\u201d Larry says. There, a warm fireplace glows, arm chairs provide comfortable respite and the kitchen is available for guests to bond over tea, coffee and food.<\/p>\n

Time and again, Larry sees how creating this feeling of home and spaces that allow people to experience a breadth of emotions, supports opportunities for reflection and goodbyes, prayer and meditation and even joy and laughter.<\/p>\n

To us, when people come through the doors of our funeral home, it\u2019s about much more than a simple business transaction. Our goal is to establish the trust of our clients and create a warm environment that feels like a real home.<\/p>\n
