Grief often asks us to do two things at once—to hold on to love and memories, while learning how to let go. 🕊️

As Havelock Ellis beautifully said, “All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” We carry our loved ones forward in our hearts, even as we find our way through life without their physical presence.

We are honored to support families through this delicate balance with compassion, care, and understanding. If you’re remembering someone special today, please know you’re not alone.

If you plan on attending services for EJ Mahoney, there will be additional parking available at the United Methodist Church of Hyde Park (across route 9) and the BACK LOT at Regina Coeli Church (1 block south).

We are expecting a large crowd and rain is in the forecast. Please be safe and plan accordingly.

Today, we pause to remember the smallest lives that made the biggest impact on our hearts. 🤍🕊️

This video is shared in loving remembrance of angel babies—lives gone too soon, yet never forgotten. Their love, though brief, is everlasting, and their memory lives on in the hearts of those who carry them forever.

To every family who has experienced this loss, please know you are not alone. We honor these precious lives with compassion, care, and understanding. You are in our thoughts and hearts today and always.

Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and we pause to say thank you. 💙👮

We are deeply grateful for the dedication, courage, and service of our local law enforcement officers who work every day to protect and serve our community—often at great personal sacrifice.

We have the privilege of working alongside first responders and witnessing firsthand their commitment to others during life’s most difficult moments. Today, we honor and appreciate all that you do.

Thank you for your service.

Sometimes the smallest gestures can bring the greatest comfort. 🤍

As Aesop reminds us, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” A kind word, a simple check-in, or a quiet moment of support can make a meaningful difference—especially for someone who is grieving.

We believe compassion lives in these small, thoughtful acts. Today, we encourage you to share a little kindness with someone who may need it. It truly matters.

A simple act of kindness can carry more meaning than we may ever know. 🤍

Princess Diana’s words remind us that compassion—freely given, without expectation—has a way of reaching hearts and coming full circle. Whether it’s a kind word, a listening ear, or a small gesture of care, those moments can bring comfort when it’s needed most.

Kindness and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. Today, we encourage you to share a little grace with someone who may need it—and know that it truly matters.

This sunset is shared in loving memory of a cherished life—a quiet reminder that even as light fades, love endures. May moments like these bring you comfort, reflection, and peace.

We are honored to help families remember, reflect, and celebrate the lives of those they love. If you’re remembering someone special today, know that you’re not alone.

Love shows up in many ways—through words, memories, and the quiet presence of those who care. 💛

As Stephen Chbosky reminds us, “We accept the love we think we deserve.” During times of loss, it’s important to allow ourselves to receive comfort, kindness, and support from others. You deserve care, understanding, and compassion.

We’re here to walk beside you, offering support and guidance whenever you need it. If you or someone you love is grieving, please know you don’t have to face it alone. 🕊️

About Us

Sweet’s Funeral Home, Inc. was founded in 1950 by George W. Sweet (1915-1991). The family tradition was carried on by his son, G. Richard Sweet (1942-1997), and the funeral home is now in its third generation.

Our funeral home is a family owned and operated business. We are large enough to give our families the same service as the largest funeral homes around, yet we are small enough that each family gets the level of attention and care they deserve.

We serve the families of Hyde Park and the surrounding area.
