Bonita Allen Director of Care LPN
In 2026, seniors face a complex, converging set of challenges driven by the aging of the baby boomer generation, economic pressures, and rapid shifts in healthcare technology. As the oldest baby boomers turn 80 in 2026, the primary hurdles involve managing high-acuity care needs, financing long-term care, and combating social isolation.
Here are the biggest challenges for seniors in 2026:
1. Financial Insecurity and High Cost of Care
• Affordability Crisis: Rising inflation, high insurance premiums, and the soaring cost of senior housing and assisted living are straining fixed incomes.
• The “Middle Market” Gap: Many seniors have too many assets to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to comfortably afford private, high-quality care, leading to a “middle market” affordability crisis.
• Healthcare Costs: Medicare
costs are rising (e.g., increased Part B premiums), putting additional pressure on seniors, especially those living at or below the poverty line.
2. Escalating Health and Care Needs
• Higher Acuity Levels: Seniors are staying at home longer and moving into care settings later, resulting in higher care needs, such as advanced dementia, when they eventually move into facilities.
• Chronic Diseases: Over 93% of adults aged 65 and older report having one or more chronic conditions, which require continuous, expensive management.
• Falls and Mobility: Falls remain a leading cause of injury and fatality, posing a significant threat to independence.
3. Workforce Shortages in Care
• Staffing Crisis: A persistent shortage of trained

nurses, caregivers, and administrative staff in senior living facilities and home health services directly impacts the quality of care.
• High Turnover: High turnover rates among staff disrupt continuity of care.
4. Isolation and Mental Health
• Rise of “Solo Agers”: An increasing number of seniors are aging alone without a spouse or children, often termed “solo agers,” making them more vulnerable to isolation.
• Mental Health Decline: Social isolation and loneliness are major drivers of depression and anxiety, which are often overlooked in elderly care.
5. Technological and Environmental Barriers
• The Digital Divide: While technology offers solutions like AI-enabled remote monitoring and telehealth, it can become a barrier for seniors who struggle with
digital literacy, potentially shrinking their world rather than expanding it.
• Ageism: Subtle ageism and the assumption that seniors are no longer active contributors to society can lead to a loss of purpose and reduced quality of life.
6. Housing and Safety
• Unsuitable Housing: Many seniors live in homes with hazards (e.g., stairs, lack of grab bars) that become unsafe as mobility declines.
• Slow Development of Senior Housing: A “development/demand divide” exists, where demand for specialized senior housing is growing faster than new construction, leading to lower availability.
These challenges are prompting a shift toward “aging in place” and “hospital at home” models as seniors seek to maintain independence amidst these pressures.
Food for Thought
I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn’t resist myself & asked... ‘’Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?’’
‘’Why would I do that?’’ He asked... ‘’Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer.
You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!’’
I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.
He asked ‘’If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?
‘’Yes, yes’’! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!
His answer left me tongue-tied.
He said ‘’Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me very well by now.
You know I am alone...this is the company that I need. I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.
Two years back I got sick, The store owner from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried.
When your Mom fell down few days back while on her morning walk. Our local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live.
Would I have that ‘human’ touch if everything became online?
Why would I want everything delivered to me and force me to interact with just my computer?
I like to know the person that I’m dealing with and not just the ‘seller’. It creates bonds of Relationships. Does Amazon deliver all this as well?’’’
Technology isn’t life..
Spend time with people.. Not with devices.

When Is the Best Time for Seniors to Downsize and Move?
Deciding to downsize and move is one of Seniors’ most significant decisions. Leaving a long-time home can be emotionally and physically challenging. However, timing the process well can make the transition smoother and less stressful. Here are key factors when deciding the best time to downsize and move.
Start Sooner Than You Think
One of the most important pieces of advice for Seniors is to start planning earlier than they might initially imagine. Waiting too long can make the process more challenging. Physical limitations or health emergencies may arise, making it impossible to make decisions independently or manage the work required. Starting early ensures you’re in control and can make choices that align with your preferences.
The First Step: Choosing Your Next Home
If you’re considering moving into a retirement community or Senior living facility, the first task is to tour and research potential locations. This process can take months as you compare amenities, costs, and locations. Once you’ve chosen your ideal community, securing a spot with a down payment solidifies your plans and gives you peace of mind. Knowing where you’ll be moving is a crucial step before beginning the downsizing process. The new year is an appropriate time to start the journey towards a new lifestyle. In an otherwise dark and dreary season, research and planning can be an exciting project. Going for a tour and having lunch is the perfect way to become familiar with your choices and spend a day.
Downsizing: A Major Undertaking
Sorting through a lifetime of belongings is no small task. Many Seniors underestimate how long it takes to declutter, sell, or donate items, as well as prepare their homes for sale. Downsizing can easily become a one- or two-year project. Breaking the process into manageable steps makes it less overwhelming:
Start Small: Begin with less sentimental areas like closets or storage spaces. By all means, do NOT start with photo albums.
Enlist Help: Family members may be willing to assist, but if unavailable or unable, consider hiring a professional downsizing company. Decide on what you want to move. You might use a space designer to help you. Ask the children to come and take the things that they want to keep. And the rest is sell, donate, and take to the landfill.
Set a Schedule: Create a timeline for sorting, packing, and selling your home. Some folks are more organized than others, but a rough draft of jobs and timelines is very helpful. Ask the community you plan to move to to help you with your plans!
Seasonal Considerations
Don’t forget that winter is a great time to start. After the holidays are over, you might think of hibernating like bears do, but it’s a great season to begin planning. By using the winter months to plan and tour, you are ready to tackle the housing issues in the spring. By spring, you can start decluttering and preparing your home for sale. A summer or early fall move allows you to settle in comfortably before the next winter arrives.
Be in the Right Place at the Right Time
Living in the right place at the right time can greatly improve your overall well-being. Staying in a large home that you can no longer maintain can decrease property values due to deferred upkeep. Additionally, living in a smaller, more manageable space is not only safer but also more efficient. The extra bedrooms, basement, garage, and attic may no longer serve a purpose, and letting go of these spaces can simplify your lifestyle. So many new residents feel a sense of liberation from a big house full of stuff they haven’t used in years. The smaller space becomes so livable and efficient. There’s much more time to enjoy all of the activities and outings. The power of changing to a smaller physical space provides unimaginable opportunities for
a new life.
Moving into a community setting can also add years to your life. Socialization is a key factor in maintaining mental and emotional health. Being surrounded by peers and participating in community activities fosters a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation, contributing to a happier and healthier lifestyle.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
Emergencies can happen at any time, from sudden health issues to changes in mobility. Having a clear plan in place reduces stress during unforeseen events. Procrastination can lead to rushed decisions, which may not align with your preferences. By starting early, you can avoid the pressure of last-minute moves.
Professional Help Can Ease the Process
Working with downsizing experts, real estate agents, or Senior move managers can simplify the transition. These professionals specialize in assisting Seniors with everything from decluttering to selling a home and coordinating the move. Their expertise can save you time and energy. Time after time, new residents tell the staff that they wish they’d moved sooner. As painful as the downsizing effort is, the joy and peace of a new home are well worth it:
The best time to downsize and move is sooner than you might think. Begin planning while you’re still physically capable of managing the process and making thoughtful decisions. Touring potential communities, decluttering your home, and creating a solid timeline will ensure a smoother transition. Whether you’re considering a spring, summer, or fall move, the key is to take the first step. Winter is a great time to start your plan! Procrastination only makes the process more difficult, so start now to secure a comfortable and stress-free future.

Aging Gracefully: The Power of Positive Thinking
Positive thinking has been long hailed for its transformative effects on various aspects of life. In this blog, we delve into the power of positive thinking and how it contributes to graceful aging. As we explore the intricacies of this mindset, we will uncover unique details that shed light on its profound impact. To further enrich our understanding, let’s take a journey through a true history that exemplifies the potency of positive thinking.
Positive thinking is not merely a fleeting notion; it has the potential to shape our lives in unimaginable ways. By cultivating an optimistic outlook, seniors can enhance their overall well-being and navigate the challenges that come with aging gracefully. Research indicates that individuals with a positive mindset tend to experience improved cognitive function, better physical health, and enhanced emotional resilience. The power lies in embracing positivity as a way of life.
Understanding the concept of aging gracefully
∙ Aging gracefully means taking care of oneself physically, mentally, and emotionally. This includes staying active through regular exercise, engaging in activities that stimulate the mind, and nurturing strong connections with loved ones.
∙ It also means practicing self-care and prioritizing one’s health. This may involve adopting healthy eating habits, getting enough rest, and managing stress effectively.
∙ Another aspect of aging gracefully is cultivating a positive attitude towards aging itself. Instead of viewing it as a negative or undesirable process, it is important to see it as an opportunity for personal growth and wisdom.
∙ Embracing change is another key component of aging gracefully. As we age, our bodies and lifestyles may change, but by being open to these changes and adapting accordingly, we can navigate the aging process with resilience and grace.
∙ Finally, embracing gratitude is an essential part of aging gracefully. By focusing on the blessings in our lives and expressing gratitude for what we have, we can cultivate a sense of contentment and joy as we age.
In addition to these points, it is important to remember that everyone’s journey through aging will be unique. What works for one person may not work for another. Therefore, it is important to find strategies and approaches that resonate with you personally.
A pro tip for aging gracefully is to surround yourself with positive influences. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones who uplift you or engaging in hobbies that bring you joy, surrounding yourself with positivity can greatly enhance your experience of aging gracefully.
Benefits of positive thinking in aging
Positive thinking has numerous benefits for individuals as they age. It can help improve mental health and overall wellbeing, enhance physical health, increase longevity, boost resilience, improve cognitive function, and foster stronger social connections. Embracing a positive mindset allows seniors to age gracefully and enjoy a higher quality of life.
• Improved Mental Health: Positive thinking can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, promoting better mental well-being in seniors.
• Enhanced Physical Health: Optimistic seniors tend to engage in healthier lifestyle choices, such as regular exercise and balanced nutrition, leading to improved physical health.
• Increased Longevity: Studies have shown that positive thinkers may have a longer lifespan compared to those with negative attitudes toward aging.
• Boosted Resilience: Positive thinking helps seniors navigate through challenges with a resilient attitude, allowing them to bounce back from setbacks more effectively.
• Improved Cognitive Function: A positive mindset has been linked to better cognitive abilities and a reduced risk of cognitive decline in older adults.

To fully enjoy these benefits and embrace the power of positive thinking during the aging process, it is important for seniors to actively cultivate optimism. Surrounding themselves with supportive friends and family members who share similar values can provide encouragement along their journey.
By adopting a positive perspective on aging, seniors can seize the opportunities that arise in their later years. They can approach each day with enthusiasm, embracing new experiences and pursuing personal growth. Don’t miss out on the transformative effects of positive thinking in aging; start cultivating a brighter outlook today.

A healthier yard, all season long, without the heavy lifting Spring is an exciting time to get back outside, but the best looking landscapes do not happen by accident. A great yard starts with the fundamentals: a thorough seasonal cleanup, well-defined garden bed edges, healthy soil, and a plan that fits your property and your lifestyle. Cornell Design & Landscaping Ltd helps homeowners in Moose Jaw and the surrounding area keep their landscapes healthy, attractive, and easier to maintain from spring through fall. Spring yard care and garden bed cleanups
After winter, garden beds often need more than a quick rake. We start by removing debris, cleaning out beds, redefining edges, and preparing soil so new plants can establish quickly. This spring refresh improves the look of your property immediately and sets the stage for stronger growth and fewer weed problems later in the season.
Garden bed planting and seasonal color
Whether you want a clean, simple look or a garden packed with color, we can help you select plants that suit your sun and shade conditions and perform well through our growing season. We plant annuals and perennials, refresh tired beds, and help you build planting combinations that look good now and mature beautifully over time. Prefer to choose plants yourself? Cornell Design & Landscaping Ltd also has a complete Garden Centre with plants and supplies to help you get the results you want.
Summer maintenance that keeps your yard thriving Summer is when small issues can turn into big problems if they are ignored. Ongoing landscape maintenance keeps beds neat,
plants healthier, and your property looking sharp through the hottest weeks of the year. If parts of your lawn or gardens struggle in summer heat, watering is often the missing piece.
Irrigation specialists (repair and installation)
Cornell Design & Landscaping Ltd is known for irrigation repair and installation. If your system has low pressure, dry spots, broken heads, leaks, or uneven coverage, we can diagnose the issue and get it working properly again. If you are ready to install a new system, we can design and build irrigation that matches your landscape, improves coverage, and protects your investment. Proper irrigation reduces stress on plants, helps new plantings establish, and makes summer yard care far more manageable. Fall cleanups and end-of-season protection
Fall is the time to prepare your landscape for winter and make spring easier. We remove leaves and debris, cut back and tidy beds where appropriate, and help you close the season cleanly so your yard is ready for a strong start next year. For 18 years, we have proudly served Moose Jaw and area. We are located 11 km south of Moose Jaw on Highway 2, just before the Sukanen Pioneer Museum. Stop in for a visit and see how we can help with garden care, planting, irrigation, and complete landscape services.

In Moose Jaw, Aging Well Starts with Connection
Most of us want the same thing as we grow older: to stay in our homes, remain connected to our community, and continue living life on our own terms. Yet when life changes — a health issue, a loss, reduced mobility, or isolation — many people discover it’s harder than expected to know where to turn.
That’s why Moose Jaw has been intentionally building an age-friendly community.
Since receiving official Age-Friendly designation from the Province of Saskatchewan, Age-Friendly Moose Jaw has worked in partnership with Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism (SSM), the City of Moose Jaw, health providers, service clubs, churches, housing organizations, and many local volunteers to make supports easier to find and easier to use. Together, these partners have created tools like the Seniors Resource Guide, established the AgeFriendly Resource Centre on Main Street North, and launched pilot projects that help people connect to services, social opportunities, and practical support before challenges become crises. One of these is a Social Prescribing pilot, which helps people get connected to community supports for wellbeing — not just medical care — through simple, guided referrals.
Aging well is not about doing everything alone — it’s about knowing where to turn when life changes.
This work is based on a simple understanding: independence is not isolation. It is the confidence that help is available, relationships are nearby, and someone will walk with you as needs shift. Sometimes that support is transportation, sometimes it’s social connection, and sometimes it’s simply a conversation that helps you figure out next steps.
SSM’s provincial leadership and advocacy, combined with the local knowledge and collaboration of Age-Friendly Moose Jaw, has helped turn good intentions into real community infrastructure — right here in our city. This isn’t a future plan; it’s something Moose Jaw is already living out, one connection at a time.
If you are an older adult, a caregiver, or a family member who wants to better understand what supports exist locally, the first step is knowing where to start. You don’t need to be in crisis, and you don’t need to have all the answers — just a place to begin.

Supporting a Loved One
When someone you love has been diagnosed with a mental illness, you feel a mixture of emotions. Concern, compassion, disbelief, anger, relief, anxiety, grief, love, guilt…any and all of these emotions are understandable and normal. You are not to blame for a loved one’s mental illness. Mental illnesses are caused by many different factors that work together, such as genetics, biology, environment, and life experiences. Loved ones can play a big part in helping a person recover, work towards their goals, and stay well. Care and emotional support go a long way in recovery and well-being. So can practical help, like managing doctor’s appointments and other daily tasks. You can also play a part in helping a loved one maintain well-being. You and other close supporters may be the first to notice changes in a loved one’s mood, behaviour, self-care, or other area that shows their mental health may be worsening. This means you can help your loved one find the right help early. You can also help them see hope at a time when they feel it the least. Who is taking care of you?
When a loved one experiences a mental illness, their care and support can take a lot of time and energy. But your own needs are just as important, too. If you aren’t well, it’s harder to help someone else regain wellness. Here are some tips to think about:
1. Accept your own feelings and know that you are not alone It is natural to feel many different emotions when a loved one is diagnosed with a mental illness. Other people experience the same challenges and complicated mix of emotions, just like you. Let yourself feel whatever you need to feel.
2. Learn more
Take time to learn more about mental illnesses. This will give you a better understanding of your loved one’s experiences and help you see what they may be going through. You can find reliable information online, through provincial or territorial health services, and through community organizations.
3. Stay connected
Embarrassment, social stigma and fear can stop many family members from seeking help when a loved one is diagnosed with a mental illness. But that can isolate you at a time when you need the most support from others. Talk to trusted friends and family and let them know what you’re experiencing. If you aren’t sure where to go, try connecting with a community organization.
4. Join a support group
Support groups are a good place to share your experiences, learn from others, and connect with people who understand what you’re going through. To find a local support group, contact a local community mental health organization like the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). CMHA has branches all over Canada that offer a range of services that can help.
5. Take time for yourself
If you are caring for a loved one, your responsibilities may use up your physical and emotional energy. It’s important to take time for yourself. It can help you recharge and give you a more balanced perspective toward any challenges you experience. Schedule opportunities that allow you to relax, have fun and get away so you can come back to your loved one with a healthier outlook. You can’t care for someone else if you haven’t cared for yourself first.
Moose Jaw Fire Department Fire Safety
Tips for Older Adults
Knowing what to do in the event of a fire is particularly important for older adults. At age 65 and older, people are twice as likely to be killed or injured by fires compared to the population at large and with our numbers growing every year it's essential to take the necessary steps to stay safe.
Make sure a fire never starts by following these simple tips:
Don’t reach for danger! Wear tight-fitting or rolled-up sleeves when cooking and don’t reach over a hot burner. Always stay in the kitchen when you are cooking, never leave cooking food unattended. Cooking fires are the number one cause of fire injuries among older adults. If you need to step away, you should turn off the stove.
Always blow out candles before leaving the room.
Ensure items that can burn are one meter (3 feet) away from space heaters.
Avoid overloading the electrical outlets. Extension cords should be used only as a temporary connection.
Avoid running cords under rugs, which can damage the cord and cause a fire.
Install smoke and CO alarms on every level of your home, especially outside sleeping areas. Combination smoke/CO alarms are available and detect both hazards in one device. Test alarms monthly and replace batteries yearly or if you hear a chirp. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7–10 years (check label) even if they are still working.
Know exactly what to do and where to go if there is a fire. Plan and practice your escape! Develop a home fire escape plan or refer to your building’s fire safety plan.
Know your local emergency number 9-1-1
If you smoke, do it outside and use large deep ashtrays. Don’t extinguish smoking materials in a potted plant. The soil used for potted plants can burn. Never smoke in bed.
6. Seek help for yourself
Caring for a loved one who’s unwell can be stressful. Long periods of stress can lead to mental health or substance use problems. Seek help if you find your own well-being slipping, and encourage family members to seek help if they need it. Mental illness can also have a big impact on family relationships. It’s a good idea to seek counselling for the entire family.
7. Develop coping strategies for challenging behaviours
There may be times when a loved one shows strange or challenging behaviours that can make you feel confused, embarrassed, or scared. This can happen in public or in private. It’s best to talk with your loved one’s care team for strategies to manage challenging situations. Here are some tips:
• Learn more about your options.
• Plan the best strategies for the situation.
• Understand that this is not personal.
• Realize that some behaviours may be beyond your loved one’s control. They may be as distressing to them as they are to you.
It’s also important to tell your loved one (and their care team) what behaviours you aren’t willing to tolerate. You have rights, too—you never have to tolerate dangerous or abusive behaviour. What to do in a crisis
If your loved one experiences serious episodes that cause problems, it’s important to plan ahead for these problems. These plans—written during times of wellness—usually map out what will happen and who will be involved if a loved one starts to feel unwell. You may be included in a plan with your loved one’s care team, but you can make a plan just between you and your loved one, too.
If you believe that a loved one is at risk of harming themselves or others and they won’t seek help, you may get a mental health assessment through your province’s or territory’s mental health laws. In general, these laws let a doctor, judge, police officer, or justice of the peace order an evaluation if a person meets certain criteria. While this can be a helpful tool in a crisis situation, it can also be difficult and traumatic for everyone involved. Ideally, a loved one should have a plan in place that seeks action before these emergency measures are necessary. Contact your provincial or territorial ministry or department of health to learn more.
A note on privacy
Under Canadian law, an adult’s health care team can’t talk about medical information like a diagnosis or treatment in most situations without permission of the adult. This may seem frustrating at times, but these laws were designed to protect the rights of people who experience a mental illness. An open relationship with a loved one can go a long way in keeping everyone informed and supporting a loved one’s care choices. Income and housing support
When someone you love is diagnosed with a mental illness, you may worry about their financial future. If they are unemployed or don’t make enough to support themself, they may qualify for income supports. Some programs are provincial or territorial, and others are national. Talk with a loved one’s care team, provincial or territorial services, or a local organization to see what’s available. Your bank can also help with tools like a Registered Disability Savings Plan.
Mental illnesses can be barriers to good, affordable housing, but the right housing can give people freedom and independence. There are different kinds of housing options available with varying levels of supports. Contact the CMHA or other local mental health organizations to get more information on housing programs.
Do you need more help?
Founded in 1918, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is the most established, most extensive community mental health organization in Canada. Through a presence in hundreds of neighbourhoods across every province, CMHA provides advocacy and resources that help to prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all Canadians to flourish and thrive.
Contact a community organization like the Canadian Mental Health Association to learn more about support and resources in your area.

Wearing Your Cherished Rings Again Comfortable Ring Sizing Options
For Arthritic Hands
Our hands tell the story of a lifetime. They have worked hard, held loved ones, and carried memories thru the years. As time passes, many people find that arthritis or enlarged knuckles make it difficult, or even impossible to wear the rings they once cherished. The good news is that you do not have to leave those meaningful pieces tucked away in a drawer. Fortunately, there are thoughtful solutions that allow seniors to enjoy their jewellery once again—comfortably and safely.
Hinged or Opening Rings
These rings feature a small, discreet hinge that allows the band to open. This makes it much easier to slide the ring over swollen or stiff knuckles. Once closed, the ring looks and feels just like a traditional band.
Expandable or Stretch Rings
Expandable rings gently adjust as they pass over the knuckle, then return to a secure fit on the finger. This option is especially helpful for hands that experience daily swelling.
Comfort Fit Adjustments
Small internal modifications can improve comfort and prevent spinning, helping the ring sit naturally on the finger without pressure.
Redesign Options
When resizing is not possible, rings can often be redesigned or transformed into pendants, allowing treasured memories to remain close in a new way.
Arthritis may change the hands, but it doesn’t have to take away the joy of wearing what matters most. With modern ring solutions, seniors can once again wear their cherished memories with comfort, dignity, and confidence.
A New Way to Remember, A Tradition of Care
At W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home, we understand that saying goodbye is more than a moment—it’s a lifelong journey of remembrance. For over a century, our family has walked alongside yours, offering compassionate support, professional guidance, and respectful care through life’s most tender transitions.
As we continue to serve families in Moose Jaw and the surrounding communities with dignity and devotion, we are proud to introduce a meaningful new option for honoring your loved one’s memory: Parting Stone – A Solidified Remains Service
Beyond the Urn: A Tangible Connection Cremation is a deeply personal choice, often selected for its simplicity and flexibility. But for many families, cremated ashes can feel impersonal or difficult to display and interact with. That’s where Parting Stone comes in.
Instead of receiving ashes in a container, you now have the option to receive 40–60 smooth, solid stones - each one a clean, touchable representation of your loved one’s
essence. These stones can be held, shared, displayed, or even carried with you, creating an intimate and permanent connection unlike anything else.
Every stone is unique in shape, size, and natural color—just like the person it represents. Whether you choose to keep them all, give some to family members, or place them in a meaningful location, these solidified remains offer a beautiful, healing alternative to traditional cremation options.
Why Families Choose Parting Stone
• Clean & Touchable: No more worry about spills or scattering. Solidified remains are clean, safe, and easy to hold.
• Shareable Keepsake: Perfect for families who want to divide and share the memory of a loved one in a dignified way.
• Personal & Permanent: Stones don’t degrade, scatter, or fade over time. They offer a timeless tribute to a life well-lived.
Trusted Tradition Meets Modern Meaning
At W. J. Jones & Son, we know that every life is
unique, and every farewell deserves to reflect that. As a full-service funeral home, we offer traditional burials, cremations, pre-planning services, grief support, and now, Parting Stone - because honoring a loved one should be as individual as the life they lived.
When you choose W. J. Jones & Son, you choose a family that cares. We’re here to support you through every decision, every ceremony, and every step toward healing. And with our partnership with Parting Stone, we offer even more ways to help you remember beautifully, and meaningfully.
