Our History

Greetings

Buggs-Bellamy Funeral Services is family owned and operated, and proud to offer premium services and quality care, giving special attention to families and their loved ones in their most difficult hour of need. Buggs-Bellamy is dedicated to treating all customers like one of the family, which mirrors our motto, “The Family that Cares for Your Family.” We emphasize friendly care and consideration of each customer’s unique needs.
 
June Buggs-Davis and Mary Frost-Bellamy, friends since high school days at New Stanton Senior High, along with Mary’s husband, Wilbur Sr., had a vision to enter into a business partnership and establish a new funeral home with a family based atmosphere. Coincidentally, as though Divinely inspired, the Bellamys’ older son, Wilbur, Jr., who had retired from the JSO. was a student at the time in Mortuary Science at Florida Community College at Jacksonville , FL., and now he serves as our Funeral Director in Charge.
 
Buggs-Bellamy Funeral Services, Inc., officially opened its doors on August 1, 2005. June passed away December 11, 2009, after an extended illness. This firm is committed to continue the values and family relationships that were at the core since our inception. Whatever the funeral related need, we are able to respond.
 
For those who prefer to pre-plan their funeral arrangements, Buggs-Bellamy Funeral Services is ably equipped to assist one in making these important decisions. The attentive staff will walk you through everything you need to know in order to provide the peace of mind that only pre-planning can give.
