We know that losing a loved one is an emotional and challenging experience, and our mission at Wood Funeral Home is to alleviate as much stress as possible.

Traditional and contemporary funeral services in Branchville

Chapel at Wood Funeral HomeWood Funeral Home, situated in the heart of Branchville, has been serving families of all faiths and from all walks of life for over 75 years. Our quaint, two-story farmhouse style dwelling, boasts of a spacious chapel and a reception area, giving us the ability to accommodate funerals and memorials of all sizes.

When you first meet with a Wood Funeral Home funeral director, we'll ask questions about your loved one: what he liked to do, what she cherished, how he thought about the world, how she liked to spend time. From there, we create a service that speaks to the unique life of your loved one, whether that's a traditional religious funeral or a contemporary and upbeat celebration of life. You can inspire us with a memory of your loved one, a hobby that grew into a passion, a favorite music genre or a signature style, and we will work to gracefully incorporate as many personal elements as you would like into the service. Start with a story—we’ll take it from there.

Imagine it: From scrapbooking to sailboats, guitars to golf balls, prize-winning roses to prize-winning roadsters, we take the things that mattered to someone and string them together to create a singular, heartfelt memorial.

Our team is experienced in planning catered events. Whether it's a breakfast buffet after a morning service, cake and coffee in the afternoon, or a full dinner reception, just let us know what you have in mind. We'll handle food, drink, decor and more. We will also help you write an obituary, create a multimedia tribute video for the service and assist you in choosing music. 

Cremation services

Not everyone knows that there are many cremation options. If you are interested in this increasingly common decision, the funeral home team can explain the process and different choices. From a direct cremation without a memorial service to a witness cremation or a full funeral service before or after the cremation, we help you understand this tradition—and handle all of the cremation arrangements.

Cremated remains may be picked up at the funeral home or we will deliver them to your home. We also offer cremation jewelry, which is a special way to keep the memory of a loved one close.
