Our History
We are the first funeral home in the McCalla area, but not new to the funeral industry. Our state of the art facility provides comfortable and safe surroundings with ample parking. Our interior design offers a feeling of peace and tranquility to help you through a difficult time in your life. The staff of McCalla Memorial Home adheres to the "Circle of Care" philosophy.
The "Circle of Care" best states our philosophy-
"It is our goal that each family we serve feels as though they are a part of our family and that the decisions made are treated with respect and dignity to best celebrate the life of their loved one. Providing overwhelming, personal, seamless service is our number one priority - before, during, and after the funeral."
Thank you for visiting our website and please feel free to explore the other pages of our site to learn more about us. In addition, please feel free to call or come by to meet our staff and tour our new facilities.

Billie Meridith, Hostess
First, Billie is a child of God. The staff here at McCalla Memorial has changed a few times over the course of 13 years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the friendly face you are greeted by as you enter the front door. Billie has been working at McCalla Memorial beginning at its inception in April of 2011. Billie's career was in banking for 50 years. She was married to Robert Meridith for 48 years until God called him home. She is a gifted storyteller and has plenty to tell about her childhood as a pastor's daughter, into her adulthood as a banking professional, a job for which she travelled all over the southeast to install computer systems into small town banks. Billie is a member of The Baptist Church of McAdory.
