Colwell Memorial Home - Beardstown, Illinois

Abbie and Stephen were very caring and compassionate in the process of our daughters funeral. Kirsta left way too early at only 36 due to cancer, but they both made it as tolerable as it possibly could be. I would highly recommend Colwell Memorial home, as we were treated with the utmost respect through it all. Thank you both.

What a blessing. My dad wasn’t from this area. When he became ill we moved him here to be closer to us so we could better care for him. Before he passed I worried about how we would get him “home” to his finally resting place which was hours away. When his time came we called Colwell Memorial. From that point on I no longer had any worries. Stephen and Abbie handled and arranged everything professionally, patiently, kindly and timely. They are both very caring and compassionate during a difficult time.

Stephen and Abbie are caring and dedicated professionals that made our mother’s funeral seamless. Their attention to every detail, large and small, was wonderful.

I couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and supportive experience. Both of my parents had their memorial services handled by Stephen & Abbie Colwell...and the support that our family received was excellent each time. Colwell Memorial Home makes the experience of losing a loved one somehow easier to bear (and Stephen gives a fantastic graveside speech too, when the situation calls for it). AAA+

Stephen and Abbie Colwell are simply the best! They have taken care of our Uncle, our Mother and our Brother with each one being very creative to the individual. They have helped us through some of our worst times. Our hometown community is very blessed to have them! Thankful for all they did and continue to do!

As the owner of a local florist, my collaboration with Colwell Memorial Home for sympathy flowers has provided me with a unique perspective. Witnessing firsthand the meticulous effort and attention to detail that the Colwell team invests in each service has left a lasting impression.

What sets Colwell Memorial Home apart is their unwavering commitment to going above and beyond for every family they serve. Their dedication is evident in the thoughtful and compassionate approach they bring to each service. I appreciate the open lines of communication they maintain, ensuring that both the flower arrangements and the specific needs of the families remain top priorities.

Having worked with various funeral and memorial homes, I can confidently say that Colwell’s stands out for its down-to-earth nature, genuine care, and unparalleled attentiveness. Their unique ability to connect with the families they serve sets them apart, making the difficult process more manageable and comforting for everyone involved. In the often somber atmosphere of this industry, Colwell Memorial Home shines as a beacon of compassion and excellence.

Stephen, Abbie and their staff are the best. They have helped us with two funerals now, both done differently. They are compassionate, friendly, professional and very easy to work with. They go out of their way to make a difficult situation a beautiful farewell. Thanks so much!

Stephen and Abbie Colwell did an amazing job with my grandmother’s service. They had previously done both my mom and dad and we’ve always had an exceptional experience with them. They are very caring people and worked with us on each occasion to ensure our family’s needs were met.
