Community ● Compassion ● Commitment
For over 125 years we've been telling stories about the lives of the great people of Indianapolis. And our success can be summed-up in three words - community, compassion and commitment.
We want to help you remember your loved ones in a way that honors the unique life of the individual. In this spirit of community and service, we also host weddings, reunions, business retreats, and community celebrations.
To help our families create memorable services we offer state-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities, online guestbook services, catering, and other customized event services.
We built the area's first crematory in 1906 and take pride in offering a multitude of cost and service options for families that choose cremation.
We have experience serving all major religious groups, and offer celebrant services for secular families.
