Our story

Our Story

McNeece-Morris Funeral Home began in 1961 when Boyce McNeece and his father-in-law, the late Charles Morris, purchased the Hawkins Funeral Home, which had served Fulton and Itawamba counties since 1929. McNeece and Morris worked side by side for ten years before Morris's death in 1971. In 1965, McNeece-Morris built its present location on South Cummings Street. In 1989, McNeece's son Steven joined the family business after graduating from Mississippi State University and has been working with his father since.


Steven served three terms as Itawamba County Coroner. Throughout our 60+ years of service, we have striven to provide compassionate care and exemplary service to the families who entrust us with the care of their loved ones. Our pledge is to help you honor your loved one in a meaningful way, offering thoughtful guidance and personal attention to every detail, and to do this in the most affordable way offered by anyone.
