The Houk-Johnston-Terry Funeral Home located in Edmeston, NY, is proud to offer a wide range of services to the families in the Otsego County and surrounding areas. With a skilled and caring staff, and a warm and comforting atmosphere, our goal is to help you plan a personalized service to celebrate the life of your loved one. In today's global community the impact on a loved ones death vibrates around the world. One hundred

years ago the core of the family remained local. Today ... traveling, attending colleges, and job opportunities stretch the nucleus of the family to now include an extended family that may cover all of America but that could also extend overseas. To reach these individuals that had been touched by your loved one is important. To have them be able to reach you and to share in your common grief is vital and rewarding. Our staff is here to serve and provide you with many options so that you can personalize your loved ones funeral service be it here in Edmeston, at your local church, or at home. We send our staff to attend numerous seminars covering the various aspects of the funeral profession to insure that they may serve our communities with the best current knowledge and resources. Over the past seventeen years we have renovated the Houk-Johnston-Terry Funeral Home and grounds to better meet our communities needs. Interior walls have been removed to allow a more spacious chapel. Two bathrooms, one being wheelchair accessible, and a handicap ramp leading to the center foyer were installed. To the left of the foyer is a large spacious room where children and young adults may gather during calling hours, yet, still be near family members. Outside the parking lot has been expanded, a bench has been added under the cherry trees, and a water fountain graces the front door to South Street. During your arrangement conference you will be encouraged to speak about your loved ones accomplishments, their driving force in life, what they meant to you and to others. You will be given material to review and to select from so that we can design their funeral service to be about them and the life that they had here on earth.
