In 1892, Mr. Laughlin moved his funeral home to a brick building at the corner of W. Clinton and Gallatin Street. He operated his business until his death in 1906. His son, Humes Laughlin, continued in his father's business until his death in 1947. In 1948, general manager John L. Purdy, purchased the funeral home, at our current location on Bob Wallace Avenue. In 1980, his son, John R. Purdy, became a partner. John L. Purdy was recognized by the Alabama Funeral Directors Association with a 50 year service pin in 1988. The family partnership continued until John L. Purdy's death on July 2, 1996 at which time John R. Purdy became president. In 2005, John's niece (John L.'s granddaughter), Sarah Chappell joined the business as VP/Business Manager and a licensed funeral director.
