A PRIVATE family funeral service will be held Monday morning, April 27th. We will attempt to broadcast this funeral service on the Saether Funeral Service Facebook page

Due to the current limitations put in place for our health and safety, there is no public visitation and the funeral service is private for the family. After the restrictions of the Corona Virus crisis are over, the family will be holding a public memorial visitation and funeral service in Jim's memory. We hope you will attend that service this summer to show the family your support by your presence.
