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. We are proud members of the Indiana Funeral Directors Association, DeMotte Chamber of Commerce, and Hebron Chamber of Commerce.
When you call, you will get exceptional care. That is our promise, day or night.
