Senter Funeral Home

Senter Funeral Directors, located at 707 South Adams Street in Fulton, Mississippi, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in the community for over eight decades. The funeral home traces its roots to the summer of 1939, when Noonan Senter and his sons, Wayne and Hillman, established Senter Funeral Home at 102 N. Commings Street. From the beginning, the family was committed to innovative service, even operating an ambulance service until the 1970s. The funeral home was also one of the first businesses in Fulton to offer air conditioning, reflecting its forward-thinking approach.

In 1956, Wayne and Hillman Senter built a new facility at 107 W. Wiygul Street, continuing their father's tradition of dedicated service. In 1984, Mike Deaton, a third-generation funeral director who grew up in the profession, purchased the funeral home. Under his leadership, a modern facility was constructed in 1995 at its current location at 707 South Adams Street. In 2011, Mike Deaton’s son, Jonathan Deaton, along with his childhood friend Shane Turner, purchased the firm and renamed it Senter Funeral Directors, preserving the legacy of the original founders.

The facility is designed with families’ comfort in mind. It features a spacious chapel that seats 350 people, three comfortable visiting areas, and a selection room with upwards of 24 caskets to meet a variety of needs. The building is easily accessible with no steps, and parking is on-site. Senter Funeral Directors offers traditional funeral services as well as cremation services. The business also functions as an insurance agency, providing additional support to families planning ahead.
