Skillin-Carroll Mortuary

Quality service, custom tributes

Our staff works to deliver quality funeral arrangements, cremations and memorable services that celebrate our Fillmore and Piru-area families. To better assist you, we work with Fillmore-area cemeteries and conduct cremations at our onsite crematory.

In addition, our funeral and cremation services include substantial savings and custom options that cater to your needs. During the service, your family can play DVDs that include photographs of family and friends on our flat-screen TVs.

Your family may also customize guest register books, memorial folders, prayer cards, thank you cards, and bookmarks with your loved one's color photo and favorite prayer, poem or song lyrics. These products provide a special way to remember their life and legacy.

Visitation and transfer options

Skillin-Carroll Mortuary will also work with your family to tastefully represent cultural diversity and traditions. Our families have seamless transfer options, including both transfer to the country of origin and receiving from anywhere in the U.S. and other countries around the world.

As an added convenience, we offer visitation services, ensuring you have the time you need with family and friends. Choose from traditional visitations, standard visitation hours or all-night visitations for those who need more time. We'll be there to guide you through the entire planning process.

Flexible arrangements

Skillin-Carroll Mortuary's funeral directors host services in our chapel or at your church of choice, as well as conduct a graveside service at your cemetery of choice. We also offer memorial services in our chapel or your preferred church location and simple cremations at our crematorium. Those who choose cremation may select a graveside service to inter a loved one's urn in a personally selected niche. We also offer celebrant-led services that honor our non-denominational and non-religious families.

Community involvement

With strong ties to the Fillmore and Piru communities, we help unite our families and friends in the Santa Clara River Valley. We host a BBQ for public servants, holiday memorial service and a celebratory service for Día de los Muertos.

Our Fillmore funeral home staff looks forward to meeting you. Please contact us if you need immediate assistance or for information about our funeral and memorial services.

History

Skillin-Carroll Mortuary and funeral home has served the Fillmore and Piru communities in California since the early 1950s. At this time, H.B. Skillin recognized the need to construct a funeral home in Fillmore to better serve the growing Santa Clara River Valley community. Throughout the years, we have remained committed to his goal, helping families with their funeral and cremation services.

History of Fillmore, California

Fillmore is a small city in the Santa Clara River Valley. The area is known for its rich, fertile soil, which has led to agriculture operating as a major industry-driver in our economy. Main crops include oranges, lemons, avocados and specimen tree farming.

The city of Fillmore derived its name from J.A. Fillmore, who was the superintendent for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Fillmore's historic downtown was established when Southern Pacific built a railroad through the valley in 1887.

As an area Dignity Memorial® provider, we proudly support our community and city's rich history. We look forward to meeting you and assisting your family when the need arises.
