Filbeck-Cann & King Funeral Home & Crematory

Filbeck-Cann & King Funeral Home & Crematory, located at 1117 Poplar Street on the historic courthouse square in Benton, Kentucky, has been a cornerstone of the Marshall County community since 1936. Founded by Fred Filbeck, who used wood from his own farm and teams of mules and horses to construct the building, the funeral home was hailed by the local Tribune-Democrat as "a monument to Mr. & Mrs. Filbeck and their work." Over the decades, the facility has been thoughtfully expanded and modernized while preserving its warm, traditional atmosphere of comfort and grace. A chapel was added in 1947, and continuous upgrades in technology, equipment, and professional training ensure families receive the highest standard of care.
