Welcome to Columbia MO Funeral Home.  The Columbia MO Funeral Home website is one of the most preferred websites for informing you about  funeral service providers in Columbia, Missouri. Here at Columbia MO Funeral Home families are the most important thing to us and we strive to be as fair as possible when helping to locate your best choice for funeral service providers in Columbia Missouri.

When considering the selection of a funeral home in the Columbia Mo area it is important to realize some of the criteria we use in regards to how we would select our choice based on this important information.

1.) How long have they been in business? (we think this is important because the longer they have served families in Columbia, Mo. the more references they will have that help determine the type of service they provide. Generally speaking, the longer they have served the community the more trust they have built in the community.)(Ask your neighbor if you are new to Columbia, chances are they have dealt with a funeral home sometime during their life.)

2.) Locally owned and operated. (In a world where corporations now own many funeral homes, and knowing that in the corporate world the “bottom line” seems to be their main focus, we feel local ownership generally provides better service and are usually more affordable.); (The dollars you spend locally stay in the community rather than getting shuffled off to another state somewhere.); (If there is ever a problem you can go directly to the owner…good luck if the owner is a corporation.); (Local owners tend to be more community involved and active with local civic organizations.); (locally owned and managed firms tend to work a lot harder to provide the best possible service and tend to be much more committed to their community, after all they live there as well.)

3.) Full service facility and license. (Do they have the ability to meet the needs of your family no matter what type of arrangements you may choose?); (Do they have cremation facilities within their firm if cremation is your choice?); (If traditional services with a funeral conducted in their facility or cremation with a memorial service at their facility is what you desire, can they accommodate you?); (Their ability to provide all the services and facilities necessary to accommodate families is vitally important when selecting a funeral home.)

4.) Location. (are they located within the city limits of Columbia which allows for convenience of the family and friends.); (are they close to restaurants, motels, local florists, etc.)

5.) Membership with professional associations. (do they belong to funeral associations that require high standards of service and things like continuing education to maintain membership in such associations.)

6.) Reputation in the community. (Ask others their opinion about a firm you might be considering. Generally the firms that are well respected by their community and their peers are your best choices to consider.)

7.) Finally, has their firm or any employee of their firm ever had a judgment against them by a court of law related to their business, or have they ever had their license revoked due to misconduct or any similar misdeed? ( If the answer to this question is yes, that might be a “Red Flag”.)

With consideration of all the above criteria we have selected the only firm in Columbia, Mo. that meets all the above standards set by the aforementioned criteria. With that in mind we have chosen Parker Funeral Service & Crematory as our featured sponsor funeral home in Columbia, Mo.
