The now former Schafer-Perfetti Funeral Home in Taylorville is under new ownership. Local resident Mike Assalley has purchased the business, which is now known as Schafer-Perfetti and Assalley Funeral Home, along with several other homes under company's umbrella.

Assalley appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show to discuss the acquisition, which he says took some time to put together.

Many are familiar with what happens during a funeral service, however there are several other things that a funeral home does that may go unnoticed.
