About Us
OUR STORY
James Funeral Home was founded in the late 1915 as Wyatt Funeral Home by J.T. Wyatt.
In 1952 the business was purchased by brothers, Earle and Ervin Queen, and Ralph R. Richards, who served as manager for many years.
Throughout the years James Funeral Home has been lucky to have many talented funeral directors on staff to serve the families that have entrusted us with the care of their loved ones, such as Maurice F. Williamson, Chad B. Akers, grandson of Earle Queen, and most recently our current Licensee-In-Charge, Chris Newsome.
James Funeral Home has proudly served the Logan community for over 100 years in the same location. Since our founding we have been committed to treating every family that walks through our doors as our own. We stand by our slogans “Serving other as we would be served” and “Offering families comfort and peace of mind”.
Today our goal is to offer the most affordable and widest range of funeral services to families in our community.
Whether you have an immediate need for our services or you wish to begin
pre-planning a funeral arrangement for you or someone you love,
