Description
Colvin Funeral Home being a successor to the firm of Dimick & Maxam Furniture and Undertaking, that started in Princeton in 1852, has continued to be a local family owned and operated funeral establishment. Colvin Funeral Home, Inc. has maintained a tradition of offering professional, yet personal service that has been associated with the Colvin family since 1908 when Oliver Colvin moved to Princeton from Pike County. With his four sons (Frank, Herold, Joseph and Jack Colvin) later joining him and then taking over the business, they continued to be well respected for the quality of service they provided. There were four young men who worked with the Colvin brothers and were able to learn the skills and the ability to provide that special touch that was associated with the funeral home. Joseph "Joe" Maxey, Richard "Rick" Hickrod, Mark R. Walter and J.B. Wells purchased the funeral home from the Colvin family in December of 1977 and continued the legacy of quality service. It was looked on as an opportunity to provide quality service with another funeral home that had also been well respected in our area. The Corn Mortuary of Oakland City was purchased by the four owners of the Colvin Funeral Home, Inc. and David Corn in December of 1993, to form Corn-Colvin Funeral Home, which has enabled us to continue to provide professional, yet personal service, that both funeral homes have been noted for. As a continuation of service to the community in 1994, we felt a need to provide monuments for families in our area. We formed the Tri-State Monument Company which provides a wide range of colors, styles and types of granite at the lowest possible prices. Tri-State Monument is located at 106 E. Brumfield, on the corner of North Main and Brumfield in Princeton. The funeral homes offer all different types of services associated with funeral service today. We are willing to help you create the service that will be meaningful to you and your family. We offer arrangements for funerals or memorials at the time of need and also offer prearrangement and prefinancing of funerals before the need arises. We can help you arrange for all types of disposition of the deceased, whether it be inground burial, entombment in a mausoleum, or cremation. The Colvin Funeral Homes are there to provide guidance and expertise for completing any of these arrangements. Our services extend beyond the funeral. We can provide resources for grief recovery which may help the family in coping with their loss. We can assist families with some of the paperwork associated with insurance claims, social security, and veterans benefits. The Colvin Funeral Homes are dedicated to service to others not by gold but by the Golden Rule. We have remained local family owned and operated funeral establishments.

Yesterday 2/8/2022 Colvin Funeral Home gave my mother Pamela Johnson a great going home celebration. My mother was very sick and the way how Colvin staff handled my mother was very delicate and with care. It was as if my mother became a relative to them. Honestly, I was very skeptical on the location, but never judge a book by its cover. The service was top notch. At the end Colvin personally made a tapestry folded it up and handed it to me the oldest son. Again the service was breathe taking and amazing. I would truly recommend this funeral home to anyone. Thank you once again.

My name is Anissa Bass and I can finally give my review . My beloved husband Anthony passed away within three months of his cancer diagnosis . I called Colvin funeral home and without hesitation they quickly assisted me through my tears as I began to plan my husbands service . My husbands presentation looked so much like Himself as if he was merely sleeping. From the receptionist to the pall bearers and ushers , my family was handled with care. My keepsake Jewelry was sent to us in a punctual time and my husbands urn was handled with care and respect . I received prompt courtesy phone calls in reference to every request. Portia is my favorite . She brought me Kleenex the day of my husbands service and hugged me after the service . She also called my family to offer any assistance that was needed . The slideshow was done to perfection and the music and photos made everyone cry and think of my husband . The ushers stayed with my family the entire time and even after the repass . This is the second time I’ve called Colvin funeral home and was never disappointed. Thank you Mitch for taking good care of me and my family through this most difficult time . (Anissa Bass)

As I write this review I am filled with hurt and anger!! I am definitely traumatized by the way that Colvin Funeral Home handled my grieving mother over my brother. They threatened to call the police several times after getting in her face and telling her to be quiet. We lost our brother and she lost her son. How dare you tell her or anyone of that matter how to grieve? The viewing as well as the service was handled in a very unprofessional manner. When dealing with a hostile situation morally you remain neutral!

No one wants to go through the grief that comes along with saying goodbye to a loved one. Colvin Funeral Home made this experience easy and they showed that this wasn’t just a job for them. They went out of their way to ensure that our family had everything we needed to make this process as easy as possible. I want to publicly thank them for helping us through this time and allowing us to celebrate Beants’ life!!

I am grateful for the care and respect shown to me and my family. Service was very nice and they allowed us to connect the music with his video during the viewing. I would definitely recommend Colvin. I was even more grateful for the patience shown to my daughter-n-law as we selected everything. My son would have been pleased with them and I am also.
