Ashland Progess May 13, 1943
The Colonial Funeral Chapel takes a full-page ad in this issue of The Progress 
to invite the people of Clay County and surrounding territory to their formal 
opening in Ash land on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 14-16. The Colonial 
Funeral Chapel is a new business concern for Ashland and is located in the 
Scarbrough building across the street from The Progress office. Mr. H. A.
Brooks, local representative of Luquire Insurance will be the active manager and 
he states that calls will be answered day or night. The new concern will 
maintain ambulance service, and a licensed embalmer will assist Mr. Brooks in 
the operation of the business. Mr. Brooks says that the company will honor 
Luquire policies and their stock will consist of a complete line of merchandise 
necessary for the operation of a modern up-to-date funeral chapel.
Their place of business has been thoroughly renovated inside and the interior 
and front have been given fresh coats of paint. Mr. T. L. Vinson, licensed 
embalmer from the Anniston Chapel, spent several days here this week assisting 
Mr. Brooks in getting ready for the opening. Experienced men will be present to 
explain all details and give any information you may desire when you attend 
their opening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
