Morgan & Nay Funeral Home Obituaries: Search Memorials, Services & Locations

Morgan & Nay Funeral Centre publishes obituary and memorial information for families connected with Madison, Hanover and surrounding southeastern Indiana communities. Its current website identifies two funeral-home locations: the Madison Chapel at 325 Demaree Drive and the Hanover Chapel at 278 East Main Street.

Finding a name is only the first step. An individual Morgan & Nay memorial can also contain visitation and funeral times, a church or cemetery destination, directions, guestbook tools, flowers, memorial-tree options, sympathy-card tools, photos, donations and—on some notices—a funeral-service recording or livestream link.

Fast answer

Five Things to Know Before Using a Morgan & Nay Obituary

Official starting point Use morgan-nay.com. The current homepage includes a “Lives We Are Honoring” area and a “View All Obituaries” route.
Madison Chapel 325 Demaree Drive, Madison, IN 47250. Main published number: (812) 265-5577.
Hanover Chapel 278 E. Main Street, Hanover, IN 47243. Published Hanover number: (812) 866-2411.

Best shortcut: Open the official Morgan & Nay site → choose the obituary area → open the individual memorial → confirm the person → record visitation, funeral and burial information separately → use the address attached to the event you actually plan to attend.

Check these details before sending money, flowers or private information

  • Official domain: morgan-nay.com.
  • Madison location: 325 Demaree Drive.
  • Hanover location: 278 East Main Street.
  • Main Madison phone: (812) 265-5577.
  • Confirm the deceased person’s name, life dates and community on the individual memorial.
  • If the event is at a church or cemetery, use that event address instead of either chapel.
Why this matters: Generic funeral-home searches can surface unrelated providers. The same verification problem appears with other common funeral-home names; our Davis Funeral Home obituary guide explains why checking the exact business, domain and location matters before acting.

Understand the memorial

What a Morgan & Nay Individual Obituary Can Contain

Obituary Family-approved life story and public biographical information.
Visitation Date, time and venue can appear in a dedicated event block.
Funeral / memorial service The event can be at Madison, Hanover, a church or another local venue.
Directions Individual event blocks can include a directions option for the specific location.
Guestbook Some memorials offer a View & Sign guestbook for condolences.
Flowers A flower-order option can appear when appropriate to the memorial.
Memorial trees Individual memorial pages can provide a plant-a-tree option.
Sympathy card Some pages allow a message or sympathy card to be sent to the family.
Photo album Family-authorized photos may be available through a memorial album.
Memorial donation Read “Memorial Expressions” before donating; the family may name a charity or remembrance fund.
Recording / livestream Some Morgan & Nay notices have included funeral-service recordings or webcast links; availability is memorial-specific.
Private arrangements A memorial can state that services are private or that no public service will occur.
Do not assume that every memorial offers every tool. Morgan & Nay individual pages vary according to the family’s arrangements. Use only the options displayed on the memorial you have verified.
05

Local service routing

Before Driving: Determine Which Event and Which Address You Need

Morgan & Nay memorials demonstrate why the funeral-home address should never be treated as an automatic destination. Some notices place visitation and funeral services at a Morgan & Nay chapel, while others use churches, historic properties or separate military-honors venues.

Route A Madison Chapel Use 325 Demaree Drive only when the memorial identifies the Madison Chapel as the event location.
Route B Hanover Chapel Use 278 E. Main Street when the memorial identifies Morgan & Nay’s Hanover Chapel.
Route C Church / cemetery / other venue Copy the address attached to that event instead of substituting a Morgan & Nay chapel address.

Real examples from official Morgan & Nay memorial pages

Hanover Chapel example An official 2024 memorial listed both visitation and funeral service at 278 East Main Street in Hanover.
Off-site service example An official 2025 memorial listed a gathering and memorial service at St. Michael the Archangel Historic Property in Madison rather than at the funeral home.
Military-honors example An earlier memorial showed funeral-home events followed by full military honors at Indiana Veterans Memorial Chapel—two separate destinations.
Service-day mistake to avoid: Do not search “Morgan Nay Funeral Home” in Maps and drive there without reopening the memorial. Funeral-home, church, cemetery and military-honors destinations can be different. This same routing issue is especially important in rural-service areas, as explained in our Haysi Funeral Home obituary guide.

    Explain where the death occurred

    Home, hospital, nursing facility or another setting can affect the next coordination step.

  3. 3

    Tell staff if a coroner is involved

    Unexpected, suspicious, violent or unattended deaths may involve the Jefferson County Coroner before release to the funeral provider.

  4. 4

    Prepare basic information

    Have the deceased person’s legal name, date of birth, Social Security number if available, marital status, parents’ names, Veteran status and next-of-kin contact information ready for the arrangement discussion.

Funeral pricing

How to Get Current Morgan & Nay Prices Without Guessing

A reliable current General Price List was not found in the official material reviewed for this article, so this page does not invent burial, cremation, casket, visitation or service rates. Ask Morgan & Nay directly for current itemized pricing.

Ask for current price information Request the General Price List and the specific services you are considering.
Separate funeral-home charges Ask which charges belong to the funeral home and which are outside cash-advance items such as cemetery, newspaper or clergy costs.
Get choices in writing Before authorizing arrangements, confirm what is included and which optional items can be declined.
Ask about Useful question Why it matters
Basic services “What is your current basic services fee?” It separates the non-declinable professional-service portion from other choices.
Transfer / removal “What is the current transfer charge and what distance is included?” Distance or after-hours circumstances can matter.
Burial service “What are the current charges for visitation, chapel service, hearse and graveside service?” These are separate line items at many funeral homes.
Cremation “What cremation options are available and what is included in each price?” Direct cremation, viewing and memorial-service choices can differ.
Outside costs “Which cemetery, obituary, permit, death-certificate or third-party charges are separate?” These costs may not be funeral-home revenue.
Federal consumer protection: The FTC Funeral Rule explains consumer rights concerning funeral price information. If you want to compare how another locally researched funeral page handles published vs. unpublished pricing, see our Hazel Green Funeral Home guide.

Jefferson County vital records

How to Get a Death Certificate in Madison / Jefferson County

Jefferson County Health Department states that it maintains and issues Jefferson County birth and death certificates dating back to 1882. If the death occurred in Jefferson County, the local vital-records route can be used.

Jefferson County Health Department

715 Green Road
Madison, IN 47250

Phone: 812-273-1942

Hours published: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; services by appointment.

Current local online fee

$15 per certified death certificate

The county’s Permitium order page currently lists an additional non-refundable $5 service fee per death-record transaction plus credit-card processing fees.

  1. 1

    Confirm where the death occurred

    Use Jefferson County’s local process for deaths that occurred in Jefferson County. A residence in Madison does not prove the death occurred there.

  2. 2

    Open the official county vital-record page

    Use Jefferson County Health Department Vital Records.

  3. 3

    Choose the correct ordering route

    The county page links to its online ordering partner for Jefferson County records and explains a different route when the death occurred outside Jefferson County.

  4. 4

    Review ID, eligibility and fee requirements

    Do this before paying. Online service and payment-processing fees can be separate from the certificate charge.

  5. 5

    Order enough copies for real tasks

    Banks, life insurance, retirement accounts, property transfers and probate may require certified copies, but not every organization needs an original certified copy.

County fee and state fee are not the same route. Indiana Department of Health currently lists a state-mail death-certificate fee of $8 for the first copy and $4 for each additional copy in the same order. Do not compare that number directly with Jefferson County’s $15 local online certificate charge without considering that these are different ordering channels and may have different processing/service fees.

Social Security

Death Reporting and Survivor Benefits

Social Security explains that funeral homes commonly report deaths to SSA. Families should give the funeral director the deceased person’s Social Security number when the funeral home is making the report.

Death reporting Ask Morgan & Nay whether the death is being reported to Social Security and what information staff need from the family.
Survivor benefits Potentially eligible spouses, divorced spouses, children or dependent parents should review SSA survivor-benefit rules rather than assuming the obituary or death report starts a claim.
