Wakefield Location

In the fall of 1999, Purviance Funeral Home became a part of the J.T. Morriss & Son family and is now under the careful direction of the Morriss Family. Sam Purviance and his staff continue to exemplify the high standard of caring and tradition families have come to rely on throughout generations.

Over one hundred and fifty years of tradition, exemplary service and commitment to it’s communities has made the Morriss Family a long standing family-business. This foundation of professional quality and experience has been a benchmark through generations from the founder J.T. Morriss II, Charles L. Morriss, J.T. Morriss IV, and today J.T. Morriss V and J. Tolleison Morriss VI provide the daily leadership of J.T. Morriss & Son.

Our facility has been extensively enhanced to continue providing the full range of services needed by the community. Your family will experience the exceptional caring of our staff.
