Hello, my name is Jay Carlisle and I am the proud owner of Hockaday Funeral and Cremation Service. I have a wonderful and beautiful wife, Lora, two great kids, Lexa and Jac, several dogs, cats, and many other stray animals that may happen our way. Welcome to this page and thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you a little about myself, my family, Hockaday history, and what it means to be a vital member of the Roanoke Valley.
Several years ago, the opportunity presented itself for my family and me to return to the Roanoke Valley. I made the decision to come home for several reasons: to fulfill my dream of owning a funeral home, to be closer to friends and family, and most importantly, to raise my own children in the same hometown environment that I enjoyed. I grew up in Roanoke Rapids as the son of James and Beth Carlisle, the grandson of the late Acey and Mary Carlisle and Katie King Browning, and the brother, brother-in-law and uncle to Kim Carlisle, his wife Cheryl, and their sons, Matthew, Phillip and Brandon. In August, 2008, I became the legal owner of Hockaday and I have enjoyed the process of updating and refurbishing the facility, not making drastic changes but bringing it into the 21st century. I made the decision to maintain the Hockaday name because it is familiar to the citizens of the Roanoke Valley and creates a sense of stability and steadfastness. Becoming the owner-operator of Hockaday Funeral & Cremation Service allows me to bring my experience and expertise to the people and place I know as home.
I learned long ago that a great team of staff members is needed to achieve excellence when caring for a grieving family, so I have assembled what I believe to be the best of the best for our community. As difficult as it is to encounter the hardships of others, we believe this is what we have been led to do. We take great pride in helping folks make educated decisions while putting them at ease during one of the most difficult times of their lives. We feel honored when families give Hockaday Funeral and Cremation Service an opportunity to be of service. Our qualified staff will strive to fulfill every request as long as it is legal and ethical. We participate in many of the local advertising mediums available.. but when satisfied families tell other families about us, we receive the best possible form of advertising: a personal recommendation and endorsement of what we offer. At Hockaday, we consider every human-interaction important because although most funeral homes operate in the same manner, word-of-mouth advertising is critical to our success. Thank you for visiting our page! Like and follow us as we share current and relevant funeral, memorial, and pre-planning information through this site.
