First, know that we are closely monitoring and following all guidelines from the CDC, national and state funeral associations, and local and state emergency services.

The Governor of Illinois issued an Executive Order, following CDC recommendations, prohibiting public or private gatherings which exceed 50 people and requiring masks and social distancing. We are offering families the choice of webcasting the funeral for remote viewing by family and friends or holding a private memorial service or hospitality gathering at a later date.

The Executive Order defines funeral service providers as 'essential businesses' so Trimble Funeral Home & Crematory will continue to provide death care to the greater Quad City community. We are fully prepared to provide burial in any cemetery or cremation in our on-site crematory. 

We have set in place new measures to help protect and accommodate the elderly, sick and members of the public. We will make every effort to accommodate families in making arrangements and conducting services in any capacity needed to ensure their safety and comfort while honoring their loved one.

We have instituted "Hugs from the Heart" to encourage friends to reach out to grieving families by sending condolences on our website which we will present to the family as a permanent reminder of your support  

•      Arrangements can be made remotely, either online or by teleconference.
•      We are expanding our ability to webcast funeral services.
•      We encourage the use of our online guestbooks for condolence messages to the family.
•      We have placed reminders throughout our funeral homes to ask that physical contact, such as shaking hands or hugging, be limited with family members.
•      Our large gathering spaces will be set up to allow social distancing. 
•      We continue, as always, to provide professional hand sanitizer stations throughout our facilities and have enacted extra cleaning including fogging all public areas and our care center with high quality pure hypochlorous.

Again, our family and staff are here to serve, protect and honor each family as we have been for over 146 years.  If you have any questions or concerns, please call Eric or Reid at 309-764-1144.
