OUR STORY
In 1960, Kenneth J. Allred, Jim's father, created a comfortable home for families going through the experiences surrounding a funeral. Ken worked in a very personal way, putting the emphasis on "home" from the very beginning.
After Ken's untimely death in December of 1965, Paul Mayhew purchased Allred Funeral Home as a companion business for his Edwardsburg home. In June of 1976, Jim Allred purchased the home in Berrien Springs, continuing what his dad had started over fifteen years earlier--a tradition of handling the everyday duties of a director in a sensitive way.
Jim Allred earned his mortuary science training from Wayne State University in 1974, training that he continues to keep current through his membership in the Michigan Funeral Directors Association and the National Funeral Directors Association.
Together Jim and Karen have served the community for 40 years, making improvements and updates to the facility. They continue to strive for what Ken started - a place of comfort for people facing the hardest times of their lives.
Come in and talk with Jim. Let him make your family comfortable in the Allred Funeral Home as you express your concerns and questions. Allow him to help you define the services you want, and let him take care of the details.
You'll find that the service he provides is your service.
The funeral home in 1910
In 2023, Tim Brown acquired Allred Funeral Home.
We are proud to have Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Services carry on our tradition.
In all our years of funeral service, we have always tried to show the families of Berrien Springs and Eau Claire the kind of caring and concern we would want. That is why it was so important to us to bring in another local professional dedicated to upholding this same personalized service.
We are proud that Tim Brown will continue this commitment to caring that he provides his families in Niles. That caring for our community has already extended into their involvement in local civic activities as well.
We are glad that Tim is now fully responsible for carrying on our tradition and always adding special services as desired by families
- Jim and Karen Allred
Feel free to call us with any questions you may have. Be assured the commitment is the same as it has been for over 60 years: to provide the families in our communities with the finest in service before, during, and after the funeral.
