North’s Funeral Home

In a world that constantly changes, there are some places that feel like permanent fixtures in a community—silent witnesses to generations of life and loss. North’s Funeral Home is one of those places. Established in 1905 by the Lauder family, it has stood the test of time, offering comfort and guidance to families for well over a century.

Originally known as Lauder Funeral Home, the business found new life when the North family took over in the 1940s, renaming it Lauder-North Funeral Home. Under their leadership, the funeral home became a cornerstone of the community, providing not just funeral services but a sense of stability during life’s most difficult moments. For decades, Jack and Sandy North carried on this tradition, until their well-earned retirement in 2018.

Enter Elliott. A man who knew firsthand the weight of carrying on a funeral home’s legacy. Having already built his own funeral home in town in 2008, he understood the delicate balance between honoring the past and embracing the future. When the opportunity arose to take over North’s Funeral Home, he didn’t hesitate. He recognized that some names carry history, respect, and trust. Rather than rebranding, he kept the name that had been a source of comfort for so many families.

Of course, taking over a century-old institution wasn’t without its challenges. Any long-standing business has its share of struggles, from adapting to new technologies to meeting the evolving needs of families. But Elliott and his team have navigated these challenges with grace. Their commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and deep care for the community is what keeps North’s Funeral Home thriving in an era where tradition and modernity must find harmony.

Today, North’s Funeral Home is more than just a business—it’s a living legacy. With over a hundred glowing reviews and a reputation built on compassion and integrity, Elliott and his team continue to honor the past while shaping the future. For the families they serve, North’s isn’t just a funeral home; it’s a trusted companion in times of need, standing as a reminder that some names, and the care behind them, truly stand the test of time.
