Dobson Family Funeral & Cremation Services

11/05/2025

I wanted to take a moment to let all of our friends and family know about the devastating event that took place this past Saturday. My dad, Jeffrey Sr.—or as some in our family lovingly called him, “Big Jeff”—was assisting with a funeral and helping to care for one of our families when he experienced a medical emergency.

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the paramedics, they were unable to save him. He passed away at a cemetery while doing what he loved most—being there for others.

He wasn’t someone that many of the families we serve met personally, but he was truly the greatest asset we had. He always made sure that every family who called on us received the most loving and compassionate care. He regularly checked in with me and our staff to ensure we were staying on top of our work and supporting families with kindness and professionalism. He also did so much behind the scenes—maintaining our service vehicles and making sure the funeral home was always in excellent shape and ready to welcome any family in need.

For me personally, this has been both devastating and exhausting. My staff has been incredible, continuing to serve families in their times of need, and we remain committed to upholding the high level of care my dad expected us to provide to each and every family.

I want to sincerely thank all of our friends, families, and neighbors who have offered condolences and shown such tremendous support to us during this difficult time.

I also want to thank the other funeral directors that I have worked with over the years who have reached out and offered help in any way they could.

Hello everyone, Jeffrey here.

I just wanted to take a moment to check in with all of our friends and neighbors. While browsing a website about national holidays, I noticed that today is National Savings Day—and it reminded me exactly why Dobson Funeral Services exists.

I’ve always believed that families should be able to save on the important things in life, and that includes funeral, burial, and cremation services. Over the years, we’ve all seen how the cost of these essential services has continued to rise—often making it difficult for hardworking families to manage during a time of loss.
That’s why I’m proud to offer affordable, transparent pricing, including:

➡️ Direct cremation starting at $1,595 (complete)
➡️ Full burial services starting at $7,455

But more than that, I’m proud to do this for the community I was born and raised in. Dobson Funeral Services isn’t just a business; it’s a commitment to our neighbors, friends, and family. We’re locally owned, family operated, and focused on providing compassionate care with a personal touch.

If you ever have questions or just want to chat, please don’t hesitate to reach out. As the owner, I believe families should always be able to reach me directly.

Warmly,
Jeffrey Dobson
Owner, Dobson Funeral Services

Why pre-plan your memorial service?

It ensures your last wishes are carried out.

It also means your family isn’t having to make hard decisions during their time of grief.

Lastly, pre-planning + prepaying for your services, means you are locked into our current prices. It also ensures your family will not be responsible for the cost of your service.

We believe in compassion + full transparency for our families + communities.

If you or someone you know would like to know more about pre-planning, please reach out.
