   History

Walker Funeral Homes is proud of its newest addition, Walker Cremation Services, serving the Southern Illinois area. This new addition is scheduled to open June 1, 2003.

More and more people are choosing cremations as an alternative to a traditional funeral service and burial. However, cremation does not have to replace a funeral service. Cremation service can still include a public visitation, open casket and a memorial service as well as many other options.

The decision to cremate is a personal choice and pre-planning is the best way to resolve issues among family members. The staff at Walker Funeral Homes will be happy to discuss cremation options and issues with you and your family.

Here at the Walker Funeral Home, we want to assist you in your time of need. We are a full service funeral home, with a trained staff to give you a personal and professional service.

We know the rising cost of funeral services today may have you concerned. We want to help.
