Meet Our Family

Thomas E. and Bonnie Melvin

Thomas and Bonnie are the owners and founders of the funeral home.  Both semi-retired, Tom was a first generation funeral director licensed for over 46 years, and started the Melvin Funeral Home in 1990.  Bonnie assists with viewings and funerals and coordinates our aftercare program.
