Village Road Memorial Chapel
By Hilary Brady
Clarence Hales realized his life-long dream when he and his wife, Melinda, opened Village Road Memorial Chapel in Leland in September 2007.
Village Road Memorial Chapel is the first and only funeral home in Leland and it provides quality, full-service funeral arrangements to the entire region.
With a staff that has more than 100 years combined experience, Village Road Memorial Chapel brings more than professional service to its families. “We believe in personalized attention,” explains Clarence,
who serves as Funeral Director.
Village Road Memorial Chapel is a 21st-century funeral coordinator, offering its families a “virtual showroom” that simplifies the selection process whether the family comes to the chapel office or whether the staff meets the family in the comfort of the family’s living room. This is a unique program that families treasure. “We travel to them,” explains Clarence. “We visit our families with our computer in tow and coordinate all of the arrangements from the comfort of their own home.”
In addition to traditional and cremation options, Village Road Memorial Chapel offers a full range of guaranteed pre-need arrangements. The chapel’s Pre-Need Price Guarantee protects its customers. The price of pre-planned funeral arrangements will never increase. Village Road Memorial Chapel is the only funeral home in Leland and families can rest assured that Village Road is here to stay on the local landscape for a long time.
The Hales pride themselves on being active in the community. Between providing valuable services to the Leland community, attending North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce events and Lions Club meetings, working with their new apprentice Dean Vinson and staying actively involved in their church, the Hales have made an impressive impact on many local lives.
