Perfetti-Assalley Funeral Homes - Panama

Perfetti-Assalley Funeral Homes - Panama is a cherished funeral home located at 117 Walnut Street in Panama, Illinois, serving the community with compassion and dignity since its founding in 1969. The funeral home was the realization of a dream by Arthur Perfetti, a lifelong resident of Panama who recognized that his hometown had never had its own funeral home. Construction began in 1968, and the following year, a quaint ranch-style facility was completed, quickly earning the trust and loyalty of Panama’s citizens. For nearly five decades, the Perfetti family operated the location, with Art’s son, Dean, at the helm until his retirement in 2017. At that time, Michael Assalley acquired the funeral home, integrating it into the Assalley Funeral Homes family while preserving its legacy of personalized, community-focused care.

Today, Perfetti-Assalley Funeral Homes - Panama offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of families during difficult times. As a full-service funeral home, it provides traditional burial services, cremation options, casket sales, and funeral celebrant services. The facility is designed to be welcoming and accessible, featuring a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot to ensure all visitors can navigate the space with ease. The dedicated staff, including licensed funeral directors, are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering immediate assistance and guidance. They also provide pre-planning services, helping individuals make advance arrangements to relieve their loved ones of future burdens, and offer a free planning kit upon request.
