 Soon after World War II ended, W.E. "Mac" McDonald and wife, Mabel, began their quest across Tennessee to find a funeral home business for sale. Mac had been associated with funeral work earlier and his uppermost desire was to return to it.
Having been deferred throughout the war because of his work with Vultee Aircraft Co. in Nashville, Mac accepted night and weekend employment with a local firm, Booth Funeral Home. The McDonalds lived in the funeral home apartment. He and his assistant took care of night and weekend calls, while Mrs. McDonald assisted with the firm's office work. This affiliation gave Mac the opportunity to become more efficient in the work and better understand responsibilities attached to the funeral profession before buying his own business. After several months there, Mac became more committed to own and operate a funeral home. Their purchase of Bradford Funeral Home in Centerville, TN, finalized on November 7, 1945, laid the foundation for McDonald Funeral Homes Linden and Lobelville.

We all like to hope that death will make an exception in our case. But we know it won’t be so. Sooner or later, we each will leave this life, whether we are ready or not.
This is why many people take the time to prepare a will, giving great consideration to what they’ll pass on to their loved ones. Unfortunately, they often give little thought to how they’ll pass on. Or, they forget that wills are typically opened after the funeral, much too late for final preferences and instructions. So, without a preplanned arrangement, their final wishes often are not carried out.
