For centuries, funerals have helped us say goodbye. No matter what kind of funeral ceremony you are planning, it helps to understand the parts of a meaningful funeral. Each element serves a unique purpose and plays an important role. When you put the elements together, you create a ceremony deserving of the special life that was lived.
Receiving friends through a visitation activates your support system and allows others to express their concern and love for you. Having a visitation encourages you to openly and honestly mourn the death. Friends and family will remember you invited them and often stay more available to you in the months that follow the death.

Recent loss of our Family matriarch was entrusted to this funeral home. Such a gentle spiritual guidance was given step by step for a sad occasion.. The knowledge and patience shown by the staff is unforgettable. What a wonderful home-going for our Mom. Five Stars to Jackson Funeral Home from us , and the Star that now watches over our family.
