Every family has their own reasons for the choices they make, and we respect that.

When families choose us, we’re grateful for the opportunity to serve. And no matter what, we’re thankful to be part of a community that values compassion, care, and respect.

As our building continues to dry following the water damage, appointments on Monday and Tuesday will be by advance arrangement only.

The drying equipment is quite loud, so our in-office hours may be flexible while it runs. Please call the office before stopping by so we can arrange a time to assist you and answer your questions without competing with the noise.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we get everything dried out and back in order. We’re still here to help! ❤️

💗🏐 Tonight, we’re coming together for more than a volleyball game!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Volley for a Cure gives us a chance to honor survivors, encourage those facing breast cancer, and remember those we’ve lost. Behind every pink ribbon is a person, a family, and a story. 🎀

Join us at BHS as Beardstown welcomes our friends from Triopia! We’ll be cheering a little extra for #28 on the BHS side—our very own Emma Colwell! 🧡🖤

JV starts at 6 PM, with varsity to follow. There will be silent auctions and so much more! Colwell Memorial Home is proud to contribute this basket to support the cause.

Wear your pink, bring your friends, and help fill the gym with hope, encouragement, and community spirit. Two teams, one shared purpose! 💕 Emerson Colwell

Don’t worry, no one is actually being held hostage here!

A little humor gets the conversation started, but the message is an important one. Families deserve timely answers, respect, and care so they can move forward without unnecessary delays.

Get to know Linda a little more!

Caring for people has always come naturally to her, and she considers it a God given gift. Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most when a family is grieving.

Hear Linda share how she found her way into funeral service and why being there for others means so much to her.

Think things are quiet behind the scenes at a funeral home?

Not quite. Between phone calls, paperwork, memorial folders, maintenance, and all the unexpected little tasks that pop up throughout the day, there’s always something that needs attention.

No two days look exactly the same, but every task helps keep things running smoothly for the families we serve.
