History

Ellers Mortuary and Cremation Center was founded in 1924 by Howard W. Ellers.

The Ellers family

When Mr. Ellers passed away in 1952, his sons took over the business, and Mimi, Mr. Ellers' daughter-in-law, managed our funeral home until 1984. After her passing, Philip D. Weaver, Richard Myers and the support staff worked to continue our legacy of care.

Continuing service for Kokomo

In 2016, our funeral home became a part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers, allowing us to expand our options and better serve the Kokomo community.

"Kim was great, understanding, professional, kind & knowledgeable. She's a keeper. My family live in Kokmo and that both ALWAYS had their funerals done by Ellers so that really says something, QUALITY. That's a 10 in my book. All through my life from all the services at Ellers to the casket going in the ground. It was beautifully done. The room where the loved one was shown was so lovely. I remember how tastefully done with the flowers and all the colors matching up with the dress or suit and tie. The make-up was done naturally and this was from the age of 9 and up into my teens that I started noticing, so I think thats EXCELLENT."
