Palmer Funeral Homes is a full service funeral home offering traditional burial or cremation services as well as pet cremation and monument sales.

Founded in 1968 by Kent R. and Dolores Palmer, Palmer Funeral Homes began with a deep commitment to serving families with compassion and dignity. After establishing locations in North Liberty and Walkerton, the Palmers expanded into St. Joseph County, acquiring several respected funeral homes throughout the area. Their dedication to excellence and care laid the foundation for a legacy of trusted service within the South Bend community.

Today, under the leadership of K.R. and Kerry Palmer, the family tradition continues with the same values of kindness, integrity, and professionalism. Over the years, Palmer Funeral Homes has grown to include multiple chapels, Southlawn Cemetery, and Palmer’s Pet Services, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care for every family’s needs. With each generation, we remain committed to honoring lives with respect, sincerity, and heartfelt service.
