Keeping an open mind to the special requests of families in need is a priority for Jan Jacob. As a funeral director, Jan understands that being flexible when guiding clients through the funeral planning process allows the family to create a unique service that will help them cope with the death of a loved one. From his perspective, the word “no” is never an acceptable answer.

Working closely with families and assisting them at their time of need is a gratifying experience for Jan, who feels that the staff at Downing & Lahey is especially adept at creating fitting tributes for those they serve. He is committed to ensuring that every aspect of a service is well executed, down to the smallest detail, and says that Downing & Lahey’s experienced and professional staff instinctively knows what needs to be done, providing a consistently high quality experience.

In his free time, Jan enjoys spending time at home with his wife of more than 35 years, Victoria, as well as with their daughter Lori and grandson Liam.
