Black-Heald Walker Transition

Carll-Heald and Black Funeral Home Rebrands as Black-Heald Walker Funeral Home

It is with great pride that we announce the renaming of Carll-Heald and Black Funeral Home to Black-Heald Walker Funeral Home. This change acknowledges our affiliation with Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral Homes of Portland and South Portland, under the continued local ownership of the Walker Family.

For many years, Carll-Heald and Black Funeral Home, as well as Lafrance-Lambert and Black Funeral Home has served the community with dedication and compassion. With its rich history dating back to the 1920s, the funeral home has built a legacy of trust and service. Now, as Black-Heald Walker Funeral Home, we remain committed to upholding the highest standards of care for the families we serve.

The Walker family, who also owns Conroy-Tully Walker Funeral Homes in Portland and South Portland, has owned Black Funeral Homes for several years now. Adam and Caitlin Walker, along with longtime funeral directors, Dan Guillemette, Candis Lawrence, and David Kahl, will continue to provide personalized and compassionate care, ensuring that every family’s needs are met with respect and dignity.

“The only thing that's changing is the name. We are still the same firm with the same ownership, and the same amazing staff. We are honored to carry on the traditions of service established by John and Lori Black, as well as the Lambert and Heald Family's. The families of the Sanford-Springvale area will continue to receive the exceptional care they have come to expect," said Adam Walker. "Since purchasing Black Funeral Home in 2020, our mission remains clear and unchanged: to go beyond families' expectations during their most difficult times.”

As we transition to our new name and branding, families can rest assured that the commitment to quality service and personal care remains unchanged. We look forward to serving the community with the same dedication and respect that has defined our history.
