Mattox-Wood Funeral Home

Compassionate care

Our caring team considers it an honor to assist families. We know the burden of planning a service and will be there every step of the way. Our families receive support throughout the entire process—from deciding on a budget to writing an obituary, selecting floral arrangements to working with a 3rd-party caterer and more. All of our services are designed to provide comfort to grieving families and friends and help begin the healing process.

Personalized funerals and cremations

At our Terre Haute funeral home, families have the option to celebrate life. We listen to your stories and family traditions and weave those into a funeral or cremation service that creates long-lasting memories. From photographs and keepsakes to food and music, a personalized funeral or memorial service can be as simple or elaborate as you desire. Simply provide the inspiration for the celebration and we’ll take care of all the details—no matter how big or small.

Cremation is important in certain religions and cultures, and more and more people are choosing cremation over more traditional burial options. But, most people aren’t familiar with all of their choices when it comes to cremation. You may choose a direct cremation (without a funeral or memorial service of any kind), a funeral with the body present (followed by cremation) or a cremation followed by a celebration of life service.

Providing peace of mind

At Mattox-Wood Funeral Home, we also recognize funeral arrangements and associated expenses can be overwhelming. In addition to assisting during your immediate time of need, our caring staff specializes in working with families to plan final arrangements in advance. By preparing these details ahead of time, you provide a sense of relief, peace of mind and comfort for your loved ones while ensuring your wishes are met to specifications. This option also provides you with a personal planning guide where you can record moments you want highlighted to tell your own story.

History

The Mattox family began providing funeral ceremonies for northern Vigo County families in the Fontanet community. Outgrowing the existing facilities, Mattox-Wood Funeral Home was built in North Terre Haute. In an effort to provide the Wabash Valley community with professional cremation care, a crematory was added. We continue to innovate and offer more ways to serve our families.
