Janie Woodward
Director, Embalmer

Born in New Jersey, my life has taken me too many places around the world. Having married a high school classmate, we settled in Silverton since 1975. We have raised 3 outstanding young adults. Community involvement is important. I have volunteered in our children’s schools, coached soccer. My passion is Funeral Service. I have been serving families in the Willamette Valley for over 19 years. I graduated with honors from Mt. Hood Community College with a degree in Mortuary Science. My goal is to give each family the most personal and meaningful service to make the loss of a loved one significant. I enjoy looking for and implementing new ideas and as well as embracing tradition. My hobbies are traveling, reading, sewing, and keeping up with technology.
