Our Story

At Countryside Funeral Homes, we listen more than we talk. We believe you know best what type of farewell fits the unique life of your loved one. We are simply here to help, and guide you as needed. Whether you're seeking a traditional funeral, a memorial service or making pre-need arrangements, we will treat your circumstances with empathy and respect. For more than a quarter century, we have described our philosophy as "common sense" funeral service. This means we do not hide our prices; we believe in offering less expensive options, including cremation services; we support our local community by hiring local and buying local; and we support countless organizations and charities because these are our communities, too. We have plans and packages available for all circumstances, at varying prices to meet your individual needs and budget. Common sense also means supporting American industry. We are the only funeral home in our area that does not purchase caskets imported from China. Yet our casket prices remain lower than most. Unlike our competition, we don't charge extra for the "little things" such as DVD tributes, pallbearer gloves and poster boards. Proudly, we are the only funeral home in the area to operate our own crematory. The crematory is located on premise in our funeral home, not in a garage or warehouse. This offers peace of mind that no other area funeral home can match. We know who is in the urn. We were present for the entire process. It's as personal to us as it is to you. While coping with the passing of a loved one is never easy, at Countryside Funeral Homes & Crematory, we share important values and experience that place us uniquely at your service. If you have questions, we encourage you to reach us to learn more.
