Owens Funeral Home

Owens Funeral Home, serving the Mahomet community from its historic location at 102 East Dunbar Street, is a pillar of compassionate care and personalized funeral services in Champaign County. Known locally as Blair-Owens Funeral Home, this facility combines the warmth of a home-like setting with the professionalism of a full-service funeral home. The building itself is a piece of local history: originally constructed as a private residence in 1895, it was thoughtfully converted into a funeral home by the Blair family in 1953. The Owens family began operating the business in 1988 and officially purchased the property in 2000, ensuring that the tradition of dedicated service continues under local ownership. Today, the funeral home is locally owned and operated by longtime Mahomet residents, siblings Jay and Jill Yost, who bring a deep understanding of the community’s needs and values.
