About Us
Welcome to Hoskins Funeral Homes, a place where care, dignity, and respect are at the heart of what we do. For years, we have been a pillar in the community, offering a serene and compassionate environment for families to commemorate their loved ones.
A Long Tradition of Service
Hoskins Funeral Homes is comprised of two locations steeped in history & tradition.
The Vale-Hoskins Funeral Home of Morrow was established in 1932 by Alton & Esther Vale, the first of four generations to serve area families in their time of need. Their son, James R. "Bob" Vale, and later his daughter & son-in-law, Joanne (Vale) & Jim Hoskins, continued the family tradition in funeral service. In January 2005, Jennifer Hoskins-Long & her husband George Long purchased the business from her parents, Joanne & Jim, to continue to serve the community with the same compassion and dignity as her ancestors.
The Oswald-Hoskins Funeral Home of Lebanon was established in 1860 by John Oswald who also owned and operated the Oswald Furniture Company on Broadway in Lebanon. In 1986, Jim & Joanne (Vale) Hoskins purchased the business which is now located at the corner of Mulberry & High Streets in the downtown historic business district. Upon retiring in January 2005, their daughter, Jennifer Hoskins-Long, along with her staff, now utilizes the collective education and experience of four generations in the funeral industry to provide a service that reflects the wishes of each family, according to their faith, to help them through a difficult time.
Online Memorial
We can create a customized, online memorial for you to share with family and friends. The memorial includes the obituary and any photographs you wish to provide. It will serve as a place for visitors to post condolences, share memories, upload photos, and light candles in honor of your loved one.
Tribute Video
We can produce a personal tribute video that can be played at the service and online. Simply provide us with the photographs you want to include and we will transform them into a video celebration of your treasured memories. DVDs or USB thumb drives of the video are also available.
Ordering Flowers
We make it easy for friends and family to send flowers to your home or service to honor your loved one. We have partnered with local florists to offer the convenience of ordering directly from the obituary page of our website. You can also use this feature to select the flowers you would like at the service. This is a secure way to choose beautiful arrangements from the privacy and comfort of your home.
Sharing Service Details
We reduce the stress of contacting those who need the details of the service for your loved one. We post the dates and times of the service as part of the online memorial on our website. You can then either share the memorial on your Facebook or X page or copy the details from the site into an email or text. Both options give you the peace of mind that you have provided the necessary information to those who need it.
