Matt Buxton from Buxton Funeral Home and Crematory has been disposing of worn-out flags for the community for many years. However, over the years, the community has been dropping flags off when the business is closed, and Buxton often found flags lying on benches or draped over the ashtrays or garbage cans. He recently acquired a package-drop-off box and asked Mellissa McKay of Custom Graphic Signs for some help giving it a makeover. He was not disappointed, and the beautiful new box was placed in front of the funeral home.
