Oliver Funeral Home, LLC

Oliver Funeral Home, L.L.C. is a family-owned funeral home dedicated to serving the communities of Sturgeon and Centralia, Missouri, with compassion, integrity, and professional care. Established in January 2007, the business was founded when John Oliver purchased the existing funeral homes from Bill and Mary Ann Meador, continuing a tradition of personalized service in a warm, family-oriented setting. The funeral home operates two convenient locations: one at 110 South Ogden Street in Sturgeon (also listed as 107 S. Ogden St.) and another at 102 East Sneed Street in Centralia, ensuring accessibility for families across Boone and surrounding counties.

From 2008 to 2012, Oliver Funeral Home underwent significant remodeling to enhance its facilities and better serve grieving families. Improvements included new roofs, carpeting, concrete work, upgraded sound systems, and the addition of a dedicated York Room to display caskets, vaults, and urns. In October 2012, the Centralia location received a brand-new parking area, further improving convenience for visitors. These renovations reflect the funeral home’s commitment to providing a comfortable and dignified environment for honoring loved ones.

Oliver Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services to meet diverse needs and preferences. Families can choose from traditional burial services, cremation services, and memorial ceremonies, all conducted with the utmost respect and attention to detail. The facility features an onsite chapel for services, and the funeral home also assists with pre-planning arrangements, allowing individuals to make their wishes known in advance and relieve their families of decision-making during a difficult time. Additional conveniences include on-site parking and wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking areas, ensuring that all guests can attend services comfortably.

The funeral home is especially proud to serve veterans and their families. Oliver Funeral Home assists with filing for all entitled benefits, including military honors, a United States flag, government markers or monuments, and funeral burial benefits. To initiate these services, the funeral home only requires a copy of the veteran's DD-214 honorable discharge papers, and they handle all necessary documentation.

Oliver Funeral Home also provides ongoing grief support through a year-long program of weekly messages designed to offer strength and comfort. Families can subscribe to receive obituary updates and can send flowers directly through the funeral home’s online platform. Testimonials from families served highlight the staff’s dedication, compassion, and professionalism. With a rating of 4.8 stars on Google, Oliver Funeral Home continues to raise the bar in the funeral service industry, striving to meet the unique needs of every family it serves with excellence and heartfelt care.
