On October 1, 1961 the Cloyd Funeral Home opened with Jerry and
his Uncle Wesley Cloyd operating the business with chapels in Stanford and Denton. 

Jerry graduated from the California College of Mortuary Science in Los Angeles in 1947. 
Wesley graduated from Worsham College of Embalming in Chicago in 1935. 
They operated the business with part-time help until Wesley retired in 1973. 
Jerry’s mother Nell helped in the business for several years.  
Jerry’s son Rick then began as office manager. 

In 1976 R.J. (Dick) Brown graduated from the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science
and returned to work with Jerry.  In 1990 Dick purchased the business from Jerry. 

In 2004 Jeremy R. Bristol graduated from Mount Hood College of Mortuary Science in
Portand, Oregon and returned to work in Lewistown with Dick and Jerry.

Dick, Jeremy and Jerry have continued to operate the business with part-time employees
Jerry Schlichenmayer, Keith Kucera, Milo Aasved, Doug Wolfe, Jim Jensen and Mike Davis.

We are a full service funeral home, offering pre-need arrangements and trusts,
complete funeral and cremation services and monuments.”
