Established in 1964 by James and Dorothy Day as Day Mortuary, 1325 Nebraska Avenue, near Junction Street. At that time, it was the begining of the African American migration into, what was then, the Polish community. James and Dorothy's two children, Michael and Cassandra, grew up in the business and later joined their parents, after going to college to become funeral directors and embalmers.
Today, they are the second generation of what now is 3 generations, with the addition of Julius M. Moore, licensed funeral director & embalmer, Michael Jr. now as a licensed funeral director and Brian Day, Sr. as an assistant director. In 1975 Day Mortuary, became know as The House of Day Funeral Service.

When it comes time to care for a deceased loved one, you may feel overwhelmed and confused about the next steps and options. Our funeral home staff members are here and ready to help. Whether you'd like a funeral or a more creative celebration of life, we can assist you to select the funeral service options that hold the most meaning for you and your family.
Obituaries act as quiet reminders of the finite nature of our lives. Yet, for those who have recently experienced the death of a family member or friend, an obituary means so much more. It is a bittersweet reminder of all we've lost, but it can also help us to remember all we enjoyed while they were alive.
All we need to do is say the word "funeral" and within microseconds, you have an image in your mind of what a funeral looks like. This mental image comes from many sources: the geographical place, culture and society in which we live; our faith; our life experience.
Obviously then, a funeral service in Borneo would look very different from one held in Tanzania; there are even significant differences between the funerals held in ethnically and/or geographically diverse regions of North America.Yet, despite the differences, these funeral services have much in common.

A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern (memorial service or celebration-of-life), has two functions: to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual and to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during this difficult time. If you are interested in making funeral arrangements for a loved one, we invite you to call us to begin.
The earliest human burial dates back 100,000 years making it one of the longest-lived and most widespread of traditions. For an overview of the many different burial traditions, check out the websites in the Resources section below. We have the deepest respect for this traditional practice.

The entire staff of House of Day was great. When my Dad passed his request was to go to another funeral home. That funeral home was unprofessional and offered subpar service. I called Michael Day and he immediately told me that I could have my Dad transferred there. They did an amazing job from start to finish. I’d definitely recommend them

My husband and I used House of Day for his father’s service. We currently reside in Michigan, so we had to do all of the planning via telephone. Ms. Day was so accommodating and helpful. I called several times to ask questions and April was so pleasant. I kept apologizing for the frequent calls and she assures me that it was not a problem.
The price was fair; the location was clean (inside and out) and they have a sitting area with a foundation; which to me was a bonus. My husband and I sat out there before the service started. It was so peaceful and tranquil. Just what you need when you’re

Having attended many funerals, especially lately, as well as having entrusted them with the care of my own mother's services, I continue to be impressed by the caring and compassionate nature of the staff as well as the level of professionalism exemplified by House of Day. Thank you for delivering such excellence and for being a pillar in our community!

My boyfriend funeral services was at days funeral home in january. The funeral services turned out to be very professional. So I was already experiencing a tremendous amount of grief not knowing the cause of his death at the time. Which I know they don't have that information. Except, I called 3 times and left messages to find out what cremation services received him. And no one replied ,That was the only thing I was disappointed about . They never returned my calls. Which, I am ok now. God has brought me through the grieving process . everyday I am healing towards moving forward.

During my season of pain House of Day was there to make things easier for me. They treated me with so much compassion.
When I struggled to put one foot in front of the other, they were there to make it easier.
They responded to my phone calls and emails with speed and waited patiently when I didn’t have the emotional strength to call them back. To every meltdown they responded, “It’s ok we are going to take care of you.”
I appreciate you all so much.
