The Charlotte Memorial Funeral Home on Indian Springs Road in Punta Gorda, trashed eight years ago by Hurricane Charley, is undergoing a major, 8,000-square-foot, $500,000 facelift.

The facility’s new co-owner, Rick Tuss, a native of Opportunity, Mont., said that when the facility and its adjacent cemetery went on the market recently, it represented another significant opportunity in his life.
