David E. Vanderpool, Manager
Since 1866, John M. Oakey & Son has provided caring service to Salem and Roanoke Valley families. We are the only family-owned funeral home in Salem. Our name is one that so many have come to trust over the years. The loss of a loved one is overwhelming. We understand this and are here to help you during these difficult times. You can rest assured that you and your family will be given our utmost attention and that your loved one’s memory will be respected and honored.
Upon entering our doors, you will feel as though you are stepping back in time.
Our home has undergone extensive renovations both inside and out.
We offer many options for our families – from a traditional service to the simplest cremation. Our funeral service licensees pride themselves in fulfilling their families' requests and are there to help with the many decisions and arrangements that must be made.
Please visit our online Memorial Guestbook. The Memorial Guestbook gives you the opportunity to sign the guest register
as well as extend your sympathies, condolences, and memories to the family.
It is our mission to build a bridge of trust, compassion, respect, and a lasting relationship with our families during the most difficult of times.
