The King-Tears Funeral Home has been in business for more than 100 continous years. Burial Plans have changed over the years.The cost is unbelievable.

Afterschool youth on tour at the W.H. Passon were amazed at how"real life like" Dr Gilbert looked. They took notes and learned that their teacher helped to create her for an exhibit at the capital..
Dr Gilbert had a cup of tea.
