A Personal Note From the Director
I'm Jay R. Didericksen
Being a funeral director is more than just a career to me. I am able to take care of families during, possibly, the most difficult time of their lives. The connection with the families of the community is what drew me to this work. My payoffs come daily when I run into these families again and we greet with hugs and memories.
The past three years have been a rewarding experience for Camille and I. We have gained a greater appreciation for our marriage, our children, and the relationships we share with others. I am grateful to be back in my hometown and serve the community that I know and love. I truly love what I do.

We offer a range of personalized services to suit your family’s wishes and requirements. You can count on us to help you plan a personal, lasting tribute to your loved one.
