Glenn and Lorie Addison, owners of Magnolia Funeral Home and Magnolia Memorial Gardens, realize that each family struggles with the loss of their loved one in a different way. Because of this we believe the greatest blessing we can provide to the families we serve is making them aware of the numerous grief-recovery resources available in the client family's area. These services range from grief counseling to support groups. We know that even if you were expecting the loss of your loved one there will most likely be some type of struggle that you will face and we want to assist you any way we can in accessing services available of people dealing with grief.

We have prepared a suggested reading list below. You will also find a list of helpful websites. Of course, if we can be of any further assistance, please call us or email us.
