Since our founding in 1928, we remain family owned & operated as well as dedicated to the standards set by our father and grandfather. We continue to strive to serve all faiths of our community with dignity, compassion, and integrity. Many area funeral homes and cemeteries have been purchased by large national and international corporations (most of whom have recently been near bankruptcy with bottomed-out stock values).
Unfortunately, the family or business name is typically part of the purchase and a key person is usually retained under contract to give the general public the impression that nothing has changed. Large corporations may have their place in corporate America, but we believe when making funeral arrangements - either in advance or at need - it is in your best interest to do so with someone who has to answer to you, not to "corporate stockholders."

Our Story
Report
The year 1928 was quite an eventful year for the Hickey family. That year, our grandparents, James T. Hickey and Lillian nee Burns (whose father, James E. Burns, established the Burns Funeral Home in Hammond, Indiana, in 1908), gave birth to our father, Robert J. Hickey. It was also the same year that James and Lillian began their lifelong career in funeral service.

Life Choices
Report
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Why Plan Ahead
Report
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
