McLaughlin Funeral Home opened it's current
location in 1963, but it's
history runs deep in this community. Established in 1913 by Mr.
Loving and his commitment to provide a dedicated and professional
service to the families of this community. The original site was located
in downtown Hot Springs in the upstairs of the Hardware Store.

Millboro Funeral Home began construction in 1995, but was stopped
after the purchase of Craigsville Funeral Home. We began working
on this location again in 2003 and hope to be open in the very near
future. The oldest building in Millboro had given this location character
and comfort that truly makes this facility unique.

Craigsville Funeral Home, the
original Sensabaugh Zimmerman
Funeral Home" established in 1924 has provided a quality of
services that was looked upon by other funeral directors as the mark
to shoot for. This newly renovated facility has an old country charm
that is comfortable yet elegant.
