About Us

Jagers Funeral Home was started in 1923 by John Jagers. The business was initially located at 10 W. State Street. It was later moved to 34 N. Congress and finally to its present location, 24 Morris Avenue, in 1967. Many changes have occurred since John began the business. One major change is the custom of using the home of the deceased as the place of embalming and funeral service. The business has always been a family affair. John's wife Erma assisted him in the business for many years. John's sons, Joe and Jerry, and a grandson, Tim, have also been involved in this family's business.

Currently, the funeral home is operated by Tim Jagers and his mother, Peggy Jagers.
