Jesus Rosado

Funeral Assistant

Jesus is a member of the Du Quoin Elks, a member of the DuQuoin V.F.W. Post #513, and the American Legion Post #647 Honor Guard Team.

Jesus does whatever it takes to care for the families he helps us to serve--parking cars, greeting people at the door, all-around maintenance man, food server, flower deliveries, coffee and treat tester, and most importantly listener to many (ok-maybe more talker)- never meeting a stranger. Always willing to jump in and help where we ask him. He truly exemplifies all we stand for in being a service, not a business. He truly understands the importance of community, and developing relationships.

We are so proud of all he does for our family, the funeral home, and our community!
