- MSMaria SommoOct 8, 20255.0Our family is truly grateful for the kindness and compassion that was shown to us by every staff member at Dalton Funeral Home. They were wonderful to work with during an extremely difficult time.
- MNMercedes NiessJul 7, 20255.0The staff was very caring & considerate. The room in which my godmother was laid was very nice, the atmosphere, lighting, number of tables & chairs were more than adequate. My loved one looked beautiful. Friends & family really appreciated that. Restroom was very good. Coffee was available. Parking & location was good. It would be nice if they could paint the exterior of the building & add some plants or flowers outside.
- FTFixitup TodayMay 10, 20255.0Jonathan and his crew did a fantastic job with my father's funeral in May 2025. From beginning to end, they were courteous, compassionate, kind, and patient. Especially patient. I cannot imagine it being any better than it was. This was the first funeral I had to organize myself, and the folks at Dalton made everything easy and very organized. They know what they are doing. Five stars.
- ATAnne TrieceOct 8, 20215.0When my mother passed away a few weeks ago Dalton took over and relieved me of so many burdens. Everyone was kind and her services were handled with dignity and compassion. Highly recommend .

Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.
The funeral home will assist you in determining the number of copies of the death certificates you will be needing and can order them for you.
Make a list of immediate family, close friends and employer or business colleagues. Notify each by phone.
Decide on appropriate memorial to which gifts may be made (church, hospice, library, charity or school).
Gather obituary information you want to include such as age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, college degrees, memberships held, military service , outstanding work, list of survivors in immediate family. Include time and place of services. The funeral home will normally write article and submit to newspapers (newspaper will accept picture and they will be returned intact).
Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
