Get to Know Us
Ford Funeral Service was started in 2003 as an answer to the demand from families in Eastern Oklahoma County for a quality funeral home owned and operated by a family. People saw a need for a funeral home with experience and dedication to its community. Our goal is to provide to you funeral service that is meaningful, appropriate and affordable in both traditional and non-traditional ways. Our mission is service, not the debt reduction of the large corporations, not the return on investment of the diverse group of investors. Our focus is quality, affordable service. It is the sincere hope of the Ford Family and staff that our works will in some way lighten the burden at a time of significant emotional loss. Thank you for supporting Ford Funeral Service and allowing us to continue to serve our communities as a family owned funeral home.
Ford Funeral Service is proud to be the first funeral service provider in the greater Oklahoma City area to have been certified as a GriefRecovery Center®. This distinctive accreditation allows us to offer a unique balance of the traditional with a fresh approach to Funeral Service that will allow each individual the opportunity to move further towards their own recovery from loss. Our goal is to assist each individual family to design a service that will be meaningful, appropriate, and affordable. Because of our low prices and our unique approach to personal service Ford Funeral Service is serving families all over central Oklahoma.
It is important that you realize that our services are available to you or your family 24 hours a day by calling (405) 677-9990. Ford Funeral Service is normally open between the hours of 8am and 5pm with extended hours for visitation. We are, however, available to assist with your need at any hour. We are located at 305 South Sooner Road in Midwest City, Oklahoma.
Ford Funeral Service is proud to own the only licensed on-site crematory in Midwest City / Del City. What does this mean to your family? That means your loved one does not have to be taken off-site to a warehouse where the cremation is sub-contracted. Ford Funeral Service believes in giving full-service, not just advertising it.

Jo Ann has been a member at Sunny Lane Family Church for 30 years where she sponsors the programs for Senior Saints, support meals, ladies events and the church bowling league. She enjoys planning high school class reunions and family reunions. Jo Ann opens her home each year as one of the host families for the Del Quest Student Leadership Program. Her hobbies include sewing booths at art and craft festivals, playing bunco, and bowling. Her “Magnificent Seven” grandchildren are her favorite blessing, and she loves watching them play sports. The OSU Cowboys are her heroes and she still loves Elvis (who she thinks is still alive). Jo Ann works part time as a receptionist for Ford Funeral Service and as the Hostess for Candlewood Chapel. Her smile and caring attitude bring a very special gift to those whose lives she touches. Jo Ann has lived in the community nearly her entire life and it is rare that she can go anywhere that people don’t recognize her. She truly has a unique personality that was made to serve others.
