Our Story
Learn our story, from the beginning and into the future.
Ever since we opened our doors we have approached life (and death) differently. While some just see the end of a loved one’s life as a time for grief and mourning, we prefer to think of it as a time for reflection, appreciation and even celebration. This is evident in everything we do, from the way we conduct our services to the amenities we choose to offer. We are not a burial ground. We are a close knit community dedicated to honoring, sharing and preserving the amazing and inspirational stories that are life.

Why Us?
In a nutshell? Experience, professionalism, compassion, and empathy.

We've learned a lot over many years. Like how to present options without overwhelming. And how to meet the needs of many caring parties. People come to us in difficult times, and we respond kindness, calmness and expertise. Our goal is to create a beautiful occasion and make you feel welcome, always. We spend our days planning with families. We stay up to date with industry developments. And we make hard times a little easier.
Learn the legacy.
Radney Funeral Home was founded in 1938 by Mr. William L. Radney, Jr. The funeral home originally operated from the Radney Furniture Company in downtown Alexander City. Later the funeral home was moved to a building on Alabama Street where it remained until the mid 1950's. The current facility was completed in 1953.
The funeral home continued to be owned by the Radney Family until May of 2006. The family then elected to transfer ownership of the funeral home to long time employee and manager, Randy Anderson.
Many changes in funeral service have occurred since the founding of Radney Funeral Home in 1938. Radney Funeral Home has adapted to these changes to meet the desires of the families that we serve. We view the funeral service as an opportunity to minister to the needs of our community.
