To the Jersey County community,
We, Kari Jo and Alyssa Alexander, are writing to regretfully announce that Alexander Funeral Home is closing its doors. Please know that this decision was not made lightly, there have been countless difficult conversations and many tears that have gone into the decision to close a business that our parents loved and centered their family around. However, our parents’ dream is not for either of us girls and we are looking forward to our next chapter.
A couple of days ago, letters were sent to individuals who had their prearrangements through us to notify them of the closing and that their arrangements were being transferred to Gent Funeral Home. We have worked with Gent Funeral Home for many years and trust them wholeheartedly. The decision to pick the correct funeral home holds much weight and we picked the funeral home that our dad chose for both our parents funerals, knowing how wonderful and respectful they are to all families that enter their funeral home.
We have had many people already reach out for recommendations on another funeral home. We have many funeral homes that we trust and would be happy to give their contact information. It is important to us that the families that have trusted our family to serve them will continue to receive the utmost respect and support during these difficult times, even if we can’t be the ones to provide that for them.
The support of the Jersey County community means more to our family than many will ever know. Our father considered himself blessed by every family that came through our doors and he truly remembered each and every family he served. We thank you all again for supporting our family through the past few decades, we will never forget you.
