J.E. Keever Mortuary, Inc.

J.E. Keever Mortuary, Inc. has been a cornerstone of the Ennis, Texas community for more than a century. Located at 408 North Dallas Street, this family-owned funeral home has been helping families navigate the difficult journey of loss with dignity, respect, and compassionate care. The Keever family’s commitment to serving others is evident in every aspect of their work, from traditional funeral services to modern cremation options and pre-need planning.

The mortuary offers a full range of services designed to honor and celebrate the life of a loved one. Families can choose from burial services, which include viewing, visitation, funeral ceremonies, and interment; or they may opt for cremation services through their on-site crematory, Twin Oaks Crematory. This facility allows for direct cremation arrangements at a more affordable price point while maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism. For those wishing to pre-plan their final arrangements, J.E. Keever Mortuary provides pre-need burial plans, enabling individuals to lock in current pricing and relieve their loved ones of decision-making during a time of grief. The mortuary also displays a selection of monuments and markers that can be purchased at their Ennis location.

In addition to funeral and cremation services, the team at J.E. Keever Mortuary offers online obituary listings with email notification subscriptions, allowing friends and family to stay informed of recent passings and service details. A guestbook feature is available for each obituary, though entries are manually approved to ensure appropriateness. The business office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but the main phone line (972-875-3891) is answered 24 hours a day, with an answering service handling after-hours emergencies.

Accessibility is prioritized, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. The facility also accepts major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, and American Express) with a processing fee. Local florists are listed on the website as a resource for those wishing to send floral arrangements; however, the mortuary advises ordering directly from these florists for guaranteed delivery.

Under the leadership of President David Keever, the business employs around 12 people and has an annual revenue of approximately $960,000. The J.E. Keever Mortuary, Inc. is proud to have served Ennis and the surrounding area for generations, providing a comforting presence during life’s most challenging moments. Their long-standing reputation for compassionate service continues to be a trusted resource for families in Ellis County and beyond.
