- BGBill Gregg1 day ago5.0My family and I would highly recommend John E Day Funeral home to take compassionate care of your deceased loved one as well as all the family and friends left behind. Their attention to detail and gentle handing of grieving family members is beyond compare. We had an open casket and they made my 100 year old Dad look wonderful. Our heartfelt thanks to all the staff who treated us so well and with delicate compassion during a very emotional time.
- BBBarbetAug 18, 20265.0My family has used JED a few times now. Always the consummate professional but also compassionate. They are knowledgeable, resourceful and informative. Recently, my sister passed and without hesitation, and with dignity one of their staff carried her remains to my car when she saw that I was unable to do so. They not only take care of the deceased, but the grieving family members as well.
- MBMark BrockelmanAug 13, 20265.0Sheri and her team were very helpful and respectful in helping us with our loss. Very kind and responsive. True professionals.
- BFBob FitzsimmonsAug 13, 20265.0It was a pleasure working with the staff at John Day. In our hours of grief they came through with the utmost professionalism and compassion. I would recommend John Day to any unfortunate family that has to bury a loved one
- JVJackie VKAug 7, 20265.0We are so incredibly grateful to John Day Funeral Home for the care and compassion they showed our family during such a difficult time. They did an amazing job with my mother’s small service, and every detail was handled with such professionalism, thoughtfulness, and genuine kindness. From the very beginning, they were unbelievably kind and understanding to me, my sister, and my brother. They made us feel supported and cared for when we were going through one of the hardest experiences of our lives. We cannot thank John Day Funeral Home enough for helping us give our mother such a beautiful and meaningful service. Their compassion meant more to our family than they will ever know. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs a funeral home that truly cares about the families they serve.

Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.

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.
