“The team at Calvert Funeral Homes handled the death of my husband. Beginning with the very first phone call, they were gentle, kind and professional. They handled everything, including the obituary and Social Security notification. They were transparent about pricing and never made me feel pressured about any decisions. They were incredible during the hardest time of my life. They even reached out to me a couple of weeks after, just to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. Thank you David and Elizabeth for all your support!”

“It is often difficult to navigate what to do in the aftermath of a family member's death, especially if the death was unexpected and you live out of state. My nephew died by suicide in Clinton and ended up at Calvert Funeral Home. First, the chapel is absolutely lovely and for those families who want a warm and beautiful setting for their loved one's service, this is the place. Second, and most importantly, the staff at Calvert are the kindest people I have met in Illinois. They took over and guided me through the "process" and treated me and my husband like family. They still follow up months later to ensure we are okay. I truly appreciate and treasure these people!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”

“About six years ago, my mom and I went to Calvert funeral homes in Clinton to pre-plan her funeral. We worked with Randy at that time, Who worked with us and was extremely and knowledgeable And helpful. Just a couple months ago my mom did pass away and we worked with Jeremy. Jeremy, and all the staff at Calvert funeral home, were friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable. We had a few changes we wanted to make to the Service plans, and they could not have been more flexible with us. We were treated like family beginning to end, and I could not be more pleased with a care received before, during, and after the passing of both of my parents. they have provided services for my father, who passed away seven years ago, as well as several other relatives.”
