About

At Marengo-Union Funeral Home in Marengo, Illinois, we create personalized memorial tributes inspired by the joys of life. Our professional team is dedicated to compassionate care and attention to detail. Whether you choose a traditional religious ceremony, a contemporary celebration of life or a cremation memorial, we can walk you through your options and create a tribute that honors your loved one's life.

Personalized funerals and memorials

Marengo-Union Funeral Home Tell us about the moments that mattered most: major milestones, favorite pastimes or a collection close to the heart. Our funeral directors take the time to listen and get to know your family. They consider your special person's personality and passions, as well as your family's traditions and budget. Then they create a meaningful memorial that brings people together to remember and reflect.

Invite guests to experience a candlelight dinner in honor of your family’s top chef. Celebrate the life of a bingo maven with a last rousing game and a prize pot split between the winner and the honoree’s favorite charity. From favorite colors to best-loved flowers, live music or friends sharing memories, whatever you envision, we can beautifully fulfill almost any final wish.

See how we celebrate life.

Cremation in Marengo

Signature Dedication at Marengo-Union Funeral Home There are many options for cremation in Northern Illinois—and they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

If you're interested in cemetery placement, our sister cemeteries, Sunset Memorial Gardens in Machesney Park and Willwood Burial Park in Rockford, are among the prettiest in the area. They offer scattering, niches and other choices.

For those who wish for something more momentous, Neptune Memorial Reef is an underwater cremation garden off the coast of Florida. Or a Celestis Memorial Spaceflight takes ashes into space for a little while or forever.
