Elm Ridge Funeral Home

Elm Ridge Funeral Home & Memorial Park, located at 4600 West Kilgore Avenue in Muncie, Indiana, has been a cornerstone of compassionate care for families in Muncie, Yorktown, and the surrounding communities for nearly a century. As the only provider in the area to offer both funeral and cemetery services on one campus, Elm Ridge provides the unique convenience of arranging all final tributes—from traditional funerals and cremations to burials and memorialization—in a single, serene location.

The welcoming red-brick funeral home serves as a comfortable venue for a wide range of services. Whether families seek a traditional funeral, a contemporary celebration of life, or a simple cremation gathering, the professional staff is dedicated to honoring each life with dignity and personalization. The facility features a reception room with a kitchen for catering, a children’s play area, and entertainment media, allowing families to transform the space into a reflection of their loved one’s personality—be it an IndyCar lover’s dream, a beach-themed gathering, or an intimate dinner. Certified funeral celebrants are available to craft unique, story-driven memorials that celebrate individual passions and traditions.

Elm Ridge Memorial Park spans over 107 acres of garden-inspired sections, offering traditional ground burial, cremation burial, lawn crypts, and cremation niches. The Elm Ridge Mausoleum, completed in 1930, is one of the largest in the Midwest, featuring exquisite bas-relief carvings, exotic marbles, and inspiring scriptures. Within the mausoleum, a dedicated room honors Delaware County veterans, including a special tribute to those missing in action from Vietnam. A poignant 9/11 Tribute Memorial, built in 2004, features two illuminated glass towers and a bronze plaque, providing a place for reflection and healing.

The funeral home is deeply committed to honoring veterans and public servants. Special services include a Veteran’s First Call, a Veteran’s Final March with flag-draped coach or horse-drawn carriage, a Patriot’s Walk with a double row of flags, and an honor guard. Through the Dignity Memorial Public Servants Program, Elm Ridge provides no-cost tributes for career and volunteer public servants who lose their lives in the line of duty.
