Veterans Day reminds us that behind every uniform was someone's dad, mom, brother, or best friend who chose to serve. The veterans we've been privileged to know brought incredible stories home with them about the buddies who kept them laughing and the moments that changed everything. We're grateful for their service and for all the ways they touched the lives around them.

A monument outlasts flowers, outlasts memory, and often outlasts the people who placed it there. Future generations will read that name and know someone was loved enough to be remembered permanently.

We work with families to design monuments that stand the test of time and tell the story they want preserved. Call 815-233-0613 or stop by to see what's possible.

"Can we plan a funeral service with cremation?" Yes.

Cremation gives you flexibility with timing and format, but you can still have a traditional service if that feels right for your family. Some families hold a service with the body present before cremation, while others prefer a memorial after cremation with the urn present. Both are meaningful. We help you plan what honors your loved one best.
