Our story

It sounds strange, but owning and operating a funeral home has been a childhood dream for Damian Murriel - at least it has been ever since he started working in the business. Murriel began his first job in a funeral home at the age of 16. Then a sophomore in high school, Murriel performed various custodial services at Cook's Funeral Home. When he graduated from Forest Hill High School in 1994 he left for Gupton-Jones Schoool of Mortuary Science. Two years later after he completed his schooling and became a liscensed funeral director and embalmer he began traveling, doing internships and apprenticeships in other states, including brief stints in Illinois and Indiana. In 2000 he left for a job as funeral director of Gregory B. Levett and Sons Funeral Home in Atlanta where the wake for TLC's Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes was held. On April 17, 2003 Damian Murriel's life-long dream to own and operate a funeral home became a reality. "I never lost sight of what I was pursuing," Murriel said. "I want to clean up the area and enhance the community with the funeral home," Murriel said. Murriel's motto is "Serving Families In Their Time Of Need." He is a member of the Mississippi Funeral Directors and Morticians Association.
