Jellison Funeral Home

The Jellison Funeral Home boasts a long and rich history of serving the residents of Peterborough and the surrounding towns. Owen Wiley founded the home in the 1850's. For the next fifty years, the home was caringly owned and operated by three different Peterborough residents, Owen Wiley, Winslow Kyes and Carl Foster. In the early 1900's Mr. Foster sold the business to the home's current namesake, Charles W. Jellison. Charles successfully operated the home until his death in1942. His wife, lovingly known to the townspeople as "Mother Ann," continued the operation for four more years. The home was briefly operated by Frank Faery, who then sold it to Arthur Wheeler in 1951. In November 1982, Arthur sold the business to funeral director Daniel L. Keaveny. Dan and his wife, Audrey White, also reside above the funeral home.
In October 2012, Dan sold the business to Julie Thibault. Julie has worked closely with Dan at Jellison Funeral Home since 2003. She is a graduate of ConVal High School and has a degree from Franklin Pierce University in psychology.
