How does COVID-19 effect services?

We at Christian Funeral Home are doing everything in our power to ensure the safety of our families and staff while our city continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. We are adhering to the guidelines put into place by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Governor Pritzker. At this time, we are limiting the number of guests attending funeral services to 50 people.

How do we as a family needed to prepare? 

Per new information released by the CDC, we are requiring anyone to who enters the funeral home to cover their face or wear a mask.

Will Christian Funeral Home accept flowers? 

At this time Christian Funeral Home is accepting flowers.

We can all do our part to keep our families safe and end the spread of COVID-19. By adhering to the guidelines put fourth by federal, state and local officials we can keep our families and staff safe while still providing the highest level of service. We are here to support you through this difficult time

*CDC Information- At this time, the CDC states that decedents with COVID-19 may be buried or cremated according to the family's preferences. They state that there is currently no known risk associated with being in the same room at a funeral home with the body of someone who has died of COVID-19. However, the CDC states that people may consider not touching the body of someone who has died of COVID-19.
