Eric M.D. Bell Funeral Home and Cremation Services

01/01/2026

As we step into 2026, Megan and I wanted to take a moment to share a personal message with the community we love.

As a licensed husband and wife team, being funeral directors is truly a shared calling. We know that in our area, families have several choices when it comes to honoring a loved one. That is why we are so incredibly humbled and honored that a record number of you chose Eric M.D. Bell Funeral Home and Cremation Services in 2025. Caring for more families this past year than ever before in our history is a trust that we do not take lightly—it means the world to us personally.

That trust is exactly why we are reinvesting in Hendricks County. Our ongoing remodeling and building additions are being designed specifically with our neighbors in mind, ensuring we can provide an even more welcoming and comfortable space for the families we serve. Even as we grow, our core values will never change: we will always provide a service for every budget, turn no family away, and never require up-front payment.

While the New Year brings new beginnings, we know it also brings a quiet difficulty for those of you starting 2026 without a loved one. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers. We wish many blessings of peace and strength to our neighbors in Pittsboro, Brownsburg, Danville, Lizton, and North Salem.

Whether you need us today for a funeral or cremation, or are looking toward the future with pre-planning, we are honored to be the family you count on.

Happy New Year and many blessings,

On behalf of our entire team,
Eric & Megan Bell

We are excited to share a look at the progress we’re making here at the funeral home! As many of you have seen, we are nearing completion on our new Private Garage and Care Area.

To some, this might look like just another construction project, but to me, it’s a commitment to dignity. In my 32 years of funeral service, I’ve always believed that the transition into our care should be handled with the highest level of respect. This new private area ensures your loved ones are brought into our home sheltered from the wind and rain, and completely away from the public eye. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury—it should be a guarantee.

Later in 2026, you will see some of the additional interior work we’re doing to serve you better. We’re expanding our family spaces to include a second kitchen and an additional private retreat area alongside our well-loved Community Heritage Lounge.

Early on after taking over this business, I made it a priority to change our name from a "Mortuary" back to a Funeral Home. The word mortuary always sounded a bit too clinical and cold to me. I wanted this building to be exactly what the name says: a Home. A sanctuary where you can pull back, regroup, and be treated like a neighbor rather than a case number.

We are a family-owned firm that has served Hendricks County since 1913, and every nail driven and wall moved by our family is about making sure our home is ready to serve you. Thank you for your continued support, friendship, and especially your patience during our construction.

Sincerely,
Eric Bell
