We are honored to care for the families of our community and to help them celebrate the lives of those they love.
Welcome
A funeral home built for this community
Parker & Burns Funeral Home & Cremation Services is family owned and operated, right here in the heart of DeMotte, a community shaped by generations of Dutch farming families. We believe every family deserves care that is personal, unhurried, and worthy of the life being honored — whether that means a traditional funeral, a simple cremation, or a celebration that is entirely your own.
We work closely with area churches to honor the faith and traditions of every family. And when you call, you will speak with the people whose names are on the door. That is our promise, day or night.
