Funeral Homes in Springfield, IL

“Staab did a wonderful job on my mother’s recent funeral. Jenny was extremely professional and more than helpful, communicative, and kind. The funeral service provided by Father George from St. Anthony’s Orthodox Church was lovely and exactly what my mother had wished for. Grace was very nice texting me a month after the funeral asking how the family was and if anything else was needed from Staab.

Staab also oversaw my father’s funeral in 2012. My mother was obviously distraught and stressed out planning it, but she said for many years she was happy with the service and performance of Staab. My mom felt confident in her own funeral arrangements through Staab. I believe both my parents would be impressed, grateful, and satisfied by their funeral arrangements and services.

Thank you, Staab for helping my mother and I during my father’s funeral, as well as my husband, children, and I during my mother’s funeral.”

“The service our family received from Butler Funeral Home was exceptional. Every little detail or request we asked for was taken care of. Emily was our director and she was amazing throughout the entire process. We met with Judy and shared many things about my dad and she delivered a very meaningful eulogy. Belinda did an outstanding job setting it up. The room looked great and everything was displayed so beautifully. All of those details were so special to me and my family. Every song we wanted was played and everyone who worked with our family was so kind, patient, helpful, warm and caring.

My dad looked really good too. It was the perfect send-off. And the coffee was very much appreciated!
Thank you all so very much.”

“I serve on staff at a church here in Springfield. When one of our members died suddenly in August, I helped her family with arrangements — they were in shock and had never dealt with a death before. In one afternoon I visited four providers in town and asked each for a quote on the same services. Vancil-Murphy and Premier Cremation Services came in well below the rest on price, and turned out to be the best experience by a wider margin still.

Adrienne was attentive and patient from the first conversation. She explained everything clearly, never once pushed a more expensive option, and worked easily with me as a third party acting on the family's behalf — which not every funeral home is willing to do. I sent the obituary over and it was posted to their site within fifteen minutes. The family asked whether some of the ashes could be placed in three bracelets, and that was handled without hesitation or fuss.

Losing someone unexpectedly is disorienting and exhausting. The last thing a grieving family needs is to feel handled or pressured, and this family never did. I'd recommend Adrienne and her team without reservation.”

“Walkers Funeral Services did an exceptional job of planning my sons memorial from beginning to the end. They were very pleasant and professional. They listened and carried out my wishes. Not only did they carry out my wishes, they actually went above and beyond. His memorial display was beautiful and sophisticated. My family and I were well pleased. Thank you Walkers Funeral Services for all that you've done!!!!”

“My brother's funeral was this past Sunday, and I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for Ms. Ruby and her amazing staff. This was the first time we experienced a loss so close to home, and from the very beginning, Ruby guided us through every step with compassion, professionalism, and grace.

She was always available—whether by phone or text—to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small. Her knowledge and kindness helped ease a very difficult process. She ensured my brother looked peaceful and presentable, which meant the world to us.

The facility itself was the perfect setting for his homegoing service, and the beautifully decorated recreational hall made the repass feel special and comforting for everyone who attended.

Though I pray we won’t have to plan another funeral any time soon, I now know that when the time comes, we will be in excellent hands with Ruby and her dedicated team. Thank you for everything!”
