WHO WE ARE

Ira & Judy Handley are former residents of Hamlin, WV, moving to Danville in 1967 when they established Handley Funeral Home.



Ira is a 1965 graduate of the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science, and was licensed by the WV Board of Funeral Directors as an Embalmer and Funeral Director in the same year. Judy has always been very active in the day to day operations of the funeral home as office manager.

Our Starting Place

In 1967 we purchased Bradshaw Funeral Home, and began the establishment of Handley Funeral Home. The existing building was used and has been steadily renovated until this present day. The first major renovation was begun in 1972 with another renovation following in 1978, going from what you see here to a modern and up to date facility that you will see as you browse the Facilities section of this web site.
