Vaughn Funeral Home

Our history

Vaughn Funeral Home began in 1933 by Eldon Vaughn. He partnered with Paul Lyons, a local businessman, and the funeral home was known as Vaughn and Lyons Funeral Home. In 1935, Alfred “Tink” Vaughn began working at the funeral home. A few years later, Paul Lyons was bought out by Eldon and Tink’s cousin, John Vaughn, and the funeral home was then known as Vaughn and Vaughn Funeral Home until the late 1940s, and then it became Vaughn Funeral Home.

Eldon, along with his brother Tink, operated the funeral home until Eldon’s death in 1968. Tink and Mildred Vaughn operated the funeral home until 1986, when they retired and sold it to their daughter, Donna K. Vaughn. Mildred died in 1991, and Tink died in 1993.
