Norberg Memorial Home

Just like the sunflowers in the field reaching to the sun, the team at Norberg Memorial Home, Inc. & Monuments finds themselves drawn to serve the community at times of need, but also at times of joy and happiness.

Norberg’s owners, JD and Janice Smallwood and their employee of the month (every month), Joey Rainford, strive to give back. You will often find Janice volunteering her time doing the face painting at the downtown concerts and the surrounding communities to help out. It’s a team effort as JD is usually there to assist with the set up and tear down, and Joey isn’t far behind.

“Living in a small community, you tend to help one another. If everyone would volunteer just one hour a month, think of all that could be done,” Janice said.

Norberg has been family owned and operated, serving its community since 1903, fast approaching their 120th year. The Smallwoods, have worked at the funeral home since 1956. Bodie, JD’s father, partnered with Arthur Norberg in the 1960’s as he was a man Bodie greatly respected, as a mentor and a friend.

JD was able to work alongside his father for almost his entire life. From landscaper, plumber, carpenter, clean up tornado crew and finally as a licensed Funeral Director in 1996. JD and his father both graduated from Worsham College of Mortuary Science. JD purchased Norberg in 2008.

JD and Janice will celebrate their seven-year wedding anniversary in 2023. Janice has worked for Norberg since 2018, and Joey came on board in early 2019. They, as a team, are always striving to do their best.

Norberg provides affordable funerals, cremations, burials, monuments and headstones as well as urns, vaults, memorial jewelry, memento urns and customized jewelry. They also offer “Prearrangements” which is a burial fund to cover the expenses at the time of your passing. “It’s the final gift you can give to your loved ones” Janice said.

Norberg is located at 701 E. Thompson Street, Princeton, or visit the website at www.norbergfh.com.
