Planning a funeral service can be a very difficult process for families who have just lost a loved one. But it's important to provide those who are grieving with a supportive environment in which they can begin to find closure, say goodbye, and come to terms with the loss.
Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to connect, share memories, offer words of sympathy, and create a lasting network of comfort and support as they start the journey toward healing.Visitation, also called a viewing, a gathering, or a wake, allows family and friends to gather in a room with the departed loved one in an open or closed casket and say goodbye or offer their support and sympathy to the bereaved.

I was very satisfied and happy with the service they provided for my mom’s cremation, service and burial. I was working with them from my hometown in Southern Illinois and felt like they were always available to answer my questions and help with with what I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Very professional and compassionate.

They were not very kind to me over my mom’s passing. When I got there they treated me as I was nothing. Just another person to make money off of. They were NOT very sympathetic for my loss.
My own family and the funeral home they
talked about was Toys for Tots, what their plans were for Christmas and showing of pictures on their phone and FB. Laughing about what they show in the pictures. I never felt so alone.
They never contacted when they were going to the process for her ashes.
They never contacted me when my Mother’s ashes was ready. I was in and out other there so fast. It was like

Trimble Funeral Home helped me through one of the most difficult events of my life. They were extremely professional, upfront, and courteous when it came to burying my mother. They worked with a funeral home out of state to have my mother transported for her final burial. They took care of the process and coordination with the VA and the National Cemetery. I couldn't be more grateful for the care and grace they exhibited during the whole thing. The amount of stress taken off my shoulders from their excellent services and guidance is immeasurable. I highly recommend them, 5/5

Everyone at Trimble was incredibly helpful in my family's time of mourning for our grandmother. Her passing came as a shock, and even during COVID, Trimble made all the arrangements so much easier for my family. Their establishment is absolutely beautiful, my family could not have wished for a nicer place for us to all say good bye and lay my grandmother to rest.
Thank you Trimble for your guidance, and graciousness that you gave to my family.

I am very happy and impressed by how quickly Reid Trimble was able to gather information and pictures of my father for his obituary. I wanted everyone to know what a wonderful man my dad was and be able reach everyone to let them know he was gone. I got exactly what I needed to make my heart happy during this tough time.

From start to finish this was an amazing Funeral Home to work with! We thought it would be a sad, depressing experience but it was made so much better, sweeter by this wonderful lady, Bree. Not sure I got that spelling correct but she knows who she is.
We needed extra time due to the number of people that attended the memorial service and the staff was very accommodating.
I could go on and on but it would take up a lot of space. Just want anyone looking for the perfect place to tend a loved one this is it.

Trimble Funeral Home was referred to me earlier this year to arrange services for my sister. Although this was a difficult time in our lives, Reid Trimble was a pleasure to work with. He provided the information we needed and he worked with us to accommodate our needs and special request. Their prices were very reasonable and they paid attention to our needs. I highly recommend Trimble Funeral Home to arrange funeral services for your loved ones.

Losing my daughter Nicole Roman was the most devastating day of my life. Trimble funeral home goes beyond and above call of duty. Reid was the absolute most gracious, caring, warm person. Our family was guided step by step through this horrific experience. The place is so roomy and spacious. I can’t even explain the level of class that is given to family. I thank you very much Reid. Sincerely, Matt and Nancy Puck.
