Olive Branch Cremation

We provide our families with an open door policy. Our open door policy means you can feel just a comfortable calling or walking into our home as you would be walking into your own. Help, guidance or good information is just a phone call or personal visit away.

HistoryIn 1957, Wilfred and Anna Reeves son James opened a Morris Branch, and this location continues to operate at 408 East Washington Street in Morris. James and his wife Sylvia had three children: Lorna, Elaine and Leo, and raised their family in the Morris funeral home. After the death of James in 1989 and Sylvia in 2000, Leo and his wife Karen continued on with the operations of both the Coal City and Morris funeral homes. Matt Baskerville joined Leo and Karen in 2003, and is privileged to carry on the fourth generation of long time honored tradition, trust and service excellence that has been established over the past century.SpecialtiesFor nearly a century, all of our funeral homes have been committed to the time honored celebration of a person's life and all those who were touched by it.
