The Wackerly Funeral Home was founded in 1933 by the late Eugene C. Wackerly Sr. "Pete, " as he was called, began working for Charles Paquelet at the Paquelet Funeral Home at Sixth and Cleveland Avenue NW in Canton, and then married Charles' daughter, Eugenia. Eugenia and Pete opened their own funeral home, Wackerly's, at 12th and Piedmont NE.
Our facility is a spacious Tudor home, built in 1910 with an elegant, but homelike appearance. It was the private home of Eugene C. Wackerly Sr, and his wife, Eugenia. They remodeled and enlarged it and, in 1945, moved their funeral service to this location. In 1998 and '99, we undertook and completed a total renovation of the entire structure, adding up-to-date furnishings and accessories.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
