AKES FAMILY FUNERAL HOMES

Akes Family Funeral Home is family-owned and operated, serving Riverside and the surrounding area families.

Our dedicated staff members uphold our legacy of providing caring and compassionate service to the community. What started as a private funeral home built in 1909 has now become the first and only family-owned and operated funeral home in the Arlington Village of Riverside. We offer full-service funeral and cremation services, as well as veteran and military honors. From the most elaborate memorial to the simplest graveside ceremony, our qualified team is here to assist families in providing the perfect tribute.

You know that feeling of relief when the holidays are finally over?

All the rushing and planning can be exhausting, but being prepared brings peace. The same is true in life when plans are made ahead, your loved ones can focus on what really matters. 💛

Having the talk of a lifetime isn’t always easy, but it can bring comfort when it’s needed most.

Send us a message when you’re ready to start the conversation.

Why do we gather when someone we love passes away?

Because when everything else feels out of control, being together helps us breathe again. Sharing stories, tears, and even laughter brings a little order back to the chaos of loss.

It’s how we remind each other that we’re not alone. 💛

Grief doesn’t take a holiday.

This season can be beautiful and heavy all at once. If you are missing someone you love, take a moment to honor them. Share a holiday memory or tradition that still brings you comfort. 💫

Together, we can make space for both joy and remembrance this Christmas.

12/20/2025

We are honored to celebrate a very special milestone. Please join us in congratulating Randy Akes, Sr. and his wife, Ruth, on their 50th wedding anniversary. Fifty years of love, commitment, and partnership is truly something to celebrate. Wishing you both continued happiness and many more memories together.

Let’s settle this, Christmas Vacation style! 🎄
We all have that one dish at the holiday table that makes us do what Clark Griswold did when Cousin Eddie showed up… smile politely and pray someone else eats it first. 😅

So tell us, what’s your least favorite holiday dish?
🍰 The fruitcake that could stop traffic?
🍒 Aunt Bethany’s mystery Jell-O?
🥘 Or maybe that “famous” casserole no one’s brave enough to touch?

Bonus points if you have an Uncle Eddie in your family who proudly brings it every year.

Drop your answer below and make us laugh. We could all use a little Griswold cheer this season. 🎅
