About Us
A message from Nancy Williams (Owner)
Williams Funeral Home is coming to Durango to be a blessing to the community. We want to walk beside you when you are suffering from the hurt of the loss of a loved one. In my life I have suffered the loss of so many people that I have loved. In 2007 my precious beloved husband died and that was the worst loss I could have suffered. Because of his death, the hurt that I felt at that time and still feel even today, I decided to open the Williams Funeral Home. I want to be able to walk beside people that are going through the same losses I have felt. I want to be a help to the community and provide comfort and care in people’s time of need. My funeral home will be a pleasant and inviting place for all who enter. My staff is experienced and more than able to take care of all your needs in your time of loss. We at Williams Funeral Home look forward to taking care of all your funeral and cremation choices, with compassion and loving care.
