The volumes provide data on the funerals handled by the home. Data such as: name, address, occupation, age at death, cause of death, parents' names and birthplaces, place of internment and details of burial arrangement are included. Many of the burial of former residents of the Ionia County Home. An alphabetical index, "Index to the Records of the Ionia Funeral Home, 1907-1920," was prepared in 1989 by Evelyn Sawyer of the West Michigan Genealogical Society, currently only available in paper. Since volume one of the original records had no page numbers, the index was keyed to the record number, which is located at the top, right corner of each page.
