COMMITMENT; EXCELLENCE In Service SINCE 1881;
Efficiency; Attention to Detail & ECONOMICAL best describe US !

We specialize in Traditional Funerals, Cremations, Memorials & Video Services via our 'Video Tributes' & funeral recording. The next-of-kin gets a FREE 'Video Tribute' DVD as well as a FREE DVD of the funeral ! WE DO NOT CHARGE for 'Video Tributes' -or- Video Recordings of Funerals!

We excel in providing Personal Attention via our Professional Staff. Our staffing level allows us to provide funerals at lesser prices in comparison to most other firms. Example: Our Standard Adult Service Fee is still LESS than $3000.00, with a Local Removal Charge of only $75.00! We welcome and invite TRUE cost comparisons! If your family has had a funeral elsewhere, compare & you'll realize what a savings this is!

Your Pre Arrangement Funds are safe with us due to our conservative fiscal management. Thousands of Missourians lost millions of dollars (including many here in Farmington) with the bankruptcy of St. Louis-based National PreArranged Services (NPS). We've funded our PreArrangements with other, safer companies.  Less than 1% of our trust funds were held with NPS. We are a licensed insurance agency & do our own Pre Arrangement Sales. Unlike other firms, we do not allow 'Commission-Hungry' & often untrained salesman, (in the funeral industry) to solicit & sell funeral plans.

Have insurance to pay funeral expenses? Upon verification, we take assignments & proceed with funeral services. We do not make you pay in advance of receipt of insurance funds.

Fill Out Our Funeral PreArrangement Form to document your wishes! We're known for Attention-to-Detail; Efficiency & Promptness. 90% of our families receive death certificates on or by funeral time & have for decades. Our families get a headstart on legal matters arising upon a death. We've had a website 15+ years. Deaths have always been posted here within minutes of notification (regardless of the day; hour of day; holiday; etc.) - not hours or days!
