Funerals and death tend to be a topic many people avoid discussing.

For Jon Frain, a third generation mortician and co-business owner of Frain Mortuary, the inevitability of death, and what comes after, is something he handles every day in the Pulaski County community. 

The family owned business strives to provide compassionate, quality service to meet the needs of families looking for funeral planning. Frain runs the business alongside his father, Dan Frain, and says the business has been in the community for over 150 years. More than 70 of those years have been under the Frain family. 

Wanting to advance the family business even further, after years of planning, the father-son duo opened Frain Crematory outside of Winamac. It's the first crematory to ever open in Pulaski County. 
The new crematory is an investment the Frain's made as a way to provide their families with a more personal service. Prior to their crematory, Frain said he was having to drive nearly 45 minutes to get cremation services for his business. 

The new facility is located north of Winamac on State Road 35, away from town and their three funeral homes in Winamac, Francesville and Medaryville. Despite Frain Crematory having the highest state-of-the-art equipment, Frain's respect for the community was the biggest reason for the facility's current location.  

Frain assures those in the community that Frain Crematory does not produce any pollutants, dangers or hazards to those even closest to the facility. 

Always showing love and appreciation to the Winamac community, Frain is thankful for the relationship he continues to have with local families in the area.
