The Edwards Funeral Home is here to serve Christ and care for families after the loss of a loved one. We believe it is very important to extend Gods love to those in their darkest hour. We know that prayer changes things, and God does indeed draw close to the broken hearted. Jesus said "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted" and that is what we do.
We do our best to comfort the hurting and hope they feel blessed by God. And we pray that God is glorified as we serve. Take a few moments to express your wishes now and help to ease the burden on your loved ones.

The caring and experienced professionals at Edwards Funeral Home are here to support you through this difficult time. We offer a range of personalized services to suit your family's wishes and requirements. You can count on us to help you plan a personal, lasting tribute to your loved one.

When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires.

The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.

Jeff Edwards and his staff are very kind and caring people. They truly understand the sorrow when your loved one is gone. They go out of their way to make the services everything you want them to be for your loved one. Jeff handled the funeral services for my father, mother-in-law, and several other relatives over the last many years. We couldn't ask for a more considerate and caring service.

Where do I start? Edward's Funeral Home had done so much for my family. Jeff, Lisa and staff are so great. Lost both my parents in 2014 and Jeff and staff made it to where my brother and I didn't have anymore additional stress in the planning process. We were blessed not have to worry about the details concerning anything. Jeff made our request happen. Hat's off to Edward's Funeral Home in Arcola. Class act!
