- MMmelindaspears12 days ago5.0Steen Funeral Home was wonderful. They were so helpful and compassionate and professional with helping my family when my parents passed away six months apart this year. They made everything so peaceful and seamless from the beginning to the end. Both of the funerals were beautiful and the business end was very stress free. I highly recommend them.

Everything had already been prepaid for my father, which made things a lot easier. They were wonderful making sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. I would highly recommend Steens funeral home for Services when needed.

- BSBeth SaundersOct 19, 20225.0We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant and comfortable experience in planning our future funeral arrangements. Evan & Brian went above and beyond in helping us and I would highly recommend them at Steen Funeral Home.
- RJRachel JonesJun 24, 20205.0Very professional and accommodating staff. Our family has always been blessed to have Brian Binion at our side through our difficult times. He was always just a phone call away. And no matter the task if it was something he could help us with, he was more then willing to do so. It’s the little things during the hardest times that mean the most to a family. Things that you can’t repay. But you never forget. Thank you to the entire staff for all you do!

When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.

Yes, if immediate assistance is requested, a funeral director will come right away. Families can also choose to have some time with the deceased before proceeding.
Should I choose burial or cremation for my funeral needs?
