Funeral home changes name

Effective Oct. 31, Hillsboro Memorial Chapel has changed its name to Jost Funeral Home.

"People didn't really know what the name was before," said Jared Jost, owner of Jost Funeral Home. "They didn't know who the owner was, and I wanted them to know that this was a private establishment, it wasn't owned by a big corporation."

Jost is a Hillsboro native. He graduated from HHS in 1996 and then went to school in Kansas City to become a funeral director.

In 1999 he returned to Hillsboro and in 2001 bought the funeral home from Zeiner Funeral Home.

He and wife Julia are expecting their first child in February.
