I highly recommend them when you are going through this very difficult situation. They even kept in touch weeks later to see how I was doing. Very thoughtful staff.
- IMIlsa McGuireJun 29, 20265.0Compassionate and professional, Ginny and the whole staff made a very sad and heartwrenching situation much easier to handle. Thank you, John E. Day Funeral Home, for helping our family and friends.
- RGrose guigaMay 26, 20265.0My mother’s funeral was perfect. Sheri oversaw and made the day less stressful. Every detail was adhered to as we requested. We will do our own arrangements soon so our children don’t have to guess as to what our wishes will be. Prepaying with Choices is the way to go. Thank you Ted Siden and Emily for keeping in touch and making sure we are doing well.

- JMJohn MastriaMay 23, 20265.0Our family would like to thank everyone involved from the funeral home in helping us get through this difficult process of planning our Mother’s service and final resting place. From our first contact with Sheri Sidun who made all of the necessary arrangements to our requests, the dignified and caring way they cared for my mother, to the final resting place that was perfect. They also arranged for our father to be with her forever in the beautiful Masuleum where they will rest in peace forever. We are forever grateful for all you did for our Mother. God Bless

✓ Father's Name

✓ Social Security Number
✓ Veteran's Discharge or Claim Number
✓ Education

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.
