For A Life Worth Celebrating

We are the only Peoria funeral home

actively taking part in the national campaign:

For a Life Worth Celebrating,

to provide consumers with information about funeral service. We are helping families gain a better understanding of their options when it comes to planning a funeral by providing a variety of educational funeral service materials.

“Consumer research has shown that consumers want and need more information when it comes to making funeral arrangements,” said National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper, CAE. “By taking part in this public education effort, Clary Funeral Consultants, Inc. is demonstrating its resolve to help families better understand the choices available to them so they can plan the most meaningful, helpful funeral process.”

For a Life Worth Celebrating was developed in response to the results of NFDA’s two-year marketing study. From the study, NFDA learned that the public values funeral service as a vital part of the grieving and healing process but does not fully understand what their options are when planning a funeral.

We hope that by offering the community an informative look into what it is we do, people will feel better prepared when the time comes to plan a funeral for themselves or a loved one.

We provide any church or civic group a consumer presentation on planning a Celebration of Life Service. The presentation is interactive and offers several handouts. Through the NFDA, we provide brochures, in English and Spanish on:

Planning a Meaningful Funeral Service

Planning Your Funeral in Advance

Healing After the Loss of a Loved One

Helping Children Through Their Grief

Understanding Cremation

Also, through our collaboration with the office of the Peoria American Cancer Society, we provide:

Honoring Your Loved One’s Memory (brochure)

American Cancer Society Memorial envelopes

Coping with Loss (brochure)

A magnet that contains a toll-free number for the American Cancer Society

that families can call day or night to access support.

We have an extensive Grief Support Library with several books and other brochures that are available to the community.

We invite you to call us with any questions you have about funeral service or to request additional information. We look forward to serving you.
