Mount Desert

The Mount Desert facility of Jordan-Fernald is located at 1139 Main Street on Route 198 in the center of Somesville in the town of Mount Desert. The funeral home was built in 1962 and has undergone various changes and renovations since then. The founding father, Abraham C. Fernald, Sr., started providing families with undertaking services in 1860. Since the 1860’s, funerals have moved from people’s homes to the mortician’s home and then to separate facilities, hence the creation of the Fernald Funeral Chapel in Somesville, which is now known as Jordan-Fernald, Mount Desert.

 

The chapel has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The centrally air-conditioned chapel has a seating capacity of 125 for services. The back of the room features a large bay window with a lovely view over a field to Somes Pond.  A large open room is available for any type of gathering, including receptions.

 

Our small cozy arrangement area is welcoming to families. The Mount Desert facility also includes modular selection rooms for both earth burial and cremation services.  We provide an array of products available for any type of services.
