Simply choose from the menu below to learn more about the individual features of our facilities, and the reason why Boakes Funeral Home is known as a leader in our profession.
The funeral is an important opportunity to pay tribute to someone you loved. It is a time for relatives and friends to gather tell stories, to share memories, to acknowledge your loss and support one another. We are open-minded in providing a more personal arrangement to suit your needs and reflect the life of your loved one.
We've worked hard to make the surroundings as comforting as possible, for you during this difficult time.
Entry Foyers
Our Chapel
Our chapel provides a dignified setting for family, friends and the community to gather together and pay tribute to the deceased.
Parlor
This room under went a total restoration in 2010, bringing it back to look as it did in 1860 when the house was built.
The chandelier was originally lit with gas and later converted to electricity. When the fireplace was restored, we found the original packing slip from 1848 in the wall. The clock on the mantle is original to the 1860 time period as well. Hanging above the fireplace is an original Civil War Discharge and sword. The hardwood floor with inlaid mahogany was beautifully restored.
Sitting Room
Children's Room
This room provides a quiet setting for parents to address their children's needs. The room includes a changing table, TV with DVD player and a supply of movies, books, toys, and a comfortable chair for a parent to feed their baby.
