Exceptional Care and Service from Randy Beard & the Deiters Funeral Home Team We cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and service provided by Randy Beard and his team at Deiters Funeral Home & Crematory Ltd. Our mother had made her arrangements and prepaid for her services nine years ago, and we were incredibly impressed with how well they honored her wishes. One of the most touching aspects was the meticulous notes they had taken. They had captured "Momisms"—phrases she often said—which made the service feel deeply personal and true to who she was. The entire process was quick and seamless, allowing us plenty of time to ask questions. The facility itself is spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully arranged. We displayed ten picture boards, flowers, and other cherished memories of our mother, and everything was laid out perfectly. The flow of traffic was smooth, ensuring guests could comfortably sign the guest book and connect with our family. Creating a video tribute was effortless. We uploaded 350 photos to their website, and their software automatically generated a beautiful 34-minute tribute that played during the visitation. This video was also attached to her obituary, allowing friends and family to revisit it later. Randy and his team excelled at balancing attentiveness and giving us space to grieve. He was always nearby for a quick question but never intrusive. His professionalism and willingness to accommodate last-minute requests made a difficult day much easier. Our mother had a specific playlist of songs she wanted, and we were relieved that there were no technical issues playing our custom Spotify list. The chairs for the service were comfortable and well-spaced, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Another huge benefit was the on-site event space next to the funeral home, which was perfect for our post-service luncheon. It comfortably hosted 50 people and was spotless, well-stocked, and fully prepared before we arrived. The setup of six large tables with nine chairs each encouraged conversation, bringing together family and friends who may not have known each other well. Laughter, tears, and heartfelt stories were shared over a meal, making it a beautiful continuation of the celebration of our mother’s life. Everything ran smoothly, and we cannot thank Deiters Funeral Home enough for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. They allowed us to focus on family and memories rather than logistics, which meant the world to us. With heartfelt appreciation, Bob Braun, Tom Braun & Julie Fuller

My wife is the Administrative Assistant at our church in Metamora...your team handled the arrangements....I wanted you to know that she was so complimentary of them. In service business like ours, sometimes the only time we hear from people is when things don't go the way we hoped. I understand your team did a truly outstanding job and I just wanted you to know that. It's a pleasure to work with you and your team Stephanie!

Dear Ms. Deiters, I am the Administrative Assistant at United Presbyterian Church, Peoria, IL. Today you assisted a family with their memorial service. I want to tell you what a pleasure it was to work with you. You had everything ready and looking lovely. I can't tell you how often I take care of those little details at memorial services. You and your staff were warm, friendly, and very professional. I can't thank you enough for all you did for this family today. I had never worked with you before and would welcome the chance again. Again, thank you so much.

The passing of my grandfather proved to be a very difficult time for me and my family. He was an important part of our family. You all offered structure at a much needed time. You were a source of strength and comfort through this process. Thanks to all of you for helping us and supporting us when we needed it most.

Thank you so much for all your time and attention you gave me and my family before and after the service for Skip. We couldn't have asked for more. Everything was respectfully done. Thank you for being there for us, for the answers you had for all our questions and all the services you provided.

As far as WHY I chose you…. It was a “referral” from our dog. We had you cremate our dog about 6 years ago. I was impressed with how professional and compassionate your people were through the whole process. So, I knew if you cared that much for the puppy dogs, you would treat the rest of the family accordingly. We have been just as impressed now as we were back then. Thank you.
