AKES FAMILY FUNERAL HOMES

Akes Family Funeral Home is family-owned and operated, serving Riverside and the surrounding area families.

Our dedicated staff members uphold our legacy of providing caring and compassionate service to the community. What started as a private funeral home built in 1909 has now become the first and only family-owned and operated funeral home in the Arlington Village of Riverside. We offer full-service funeral and cremation services, as well as veteran and military honors. From the most elaborate memorial to the simplest graveside ceremony, our qualified team is here to assist families in providing the perfect tribute.

Why do we gather when someone we love passes away?

Because when everything else feels out of control, being together helps us breathe again. Sharing stories, tears, and even laughter brings a little order back to the chaos of loss.

It’s how we remind each other that we’re not alone. 💛

Grief doesn’t take a holiday.

This season can be beautiful and heavy all at once. If you are missing someone you love, take a moment to honor them. Share a holiday memory or tradition that still brings you comfort. 💫

Together, we can make space for both joy and remembrance this Christmas.

Let’s settle this, Christmas Vacation style! 🎄
We all have that one dish at the holiday table that makes us do what Clark Griswold did when Cousin Eddie showed up… smile politely and pray someone else eats it first. 😅

So tell us, what’s your least favorite holiday dish?
🍰 The fruitcake that could stop traffic?
🍒 Aunt Bethany’s mystery Jell-O?
🥘 Or maybe that “famous” casserole no one’s brave enough to touch?

Bonus points if you have an Uncle Eddie in your family who proudly brings it every year.

Drop your answer below and make us laugh. We could all use a little Griswold cheer this season. 🎅

Taking time now to plan things in advance allows us to reduce burdens later. End-of-life planning is the same. Plan for your family today, so they won't worry later. Ready to get started? https://bit.ly/3i1LLb4

💌 Do you still send Christmas cards?

Some families keep the tradition alive every year, while others have traded stamps for social media greetings. 🎅

We’d love to know if you are team “mail them out early,” “last-minute sender,” or “I just love getting them.”

Drop a 🎄 below and tell us your tradition.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women whose lives were lost at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Their courage and sacrifice shaped the course of history and remind us of the true cost of freedom.
We will never forget their service, their strength, and their legacy. ❤️🤍💙
