Webb Funeral Home

In 1925, Hendricks Funeral Home, operated by Willis Hendricks, opened for business in Preston, Idaho. In the early days, they provided service for a large area spanning from Richmond, Utah to Soda Springs, Idaho, and viewings were held in the home of the deceased before going to the church for the funeral. For years, the Webb family operated the funeral business, an ambulance service, and a floral business (greenhouses can be seen in the photo).

In 1956, Sherwin Webb sold the floral business to Nat Edwards and the funeral home and floral businesses were then separated. The Webb's continued to run the ambulance service into the 1970's at which time Franklin County initiated a volunteer ambulance service. Webb Funeral Home operated at 109 East Oneida in Preston, Idaho for over 85 years until a new facility was constructed in 2010 at 1005 South 800 East, Preston, Idaho.

Originally built in 1890 by Dr. Parkinson, the 109 E. Oneida location has been an icon in Preston for decades. Thousands of viewings and funerals have been conducted in the funeral home and there are many memories there. "The 109 E. Oneida location served the public well for many years. The time came when we decided to upgrade our facility to make it more accommodating to the public.

We will always honor and cherish our original location."
