Our History

We stand behind our reputation and will continue to serve our community with the values instilled by our funeral directors.


Always a family-owned business, Oliver Funeral Home was established in January 2007 when John Oliver bought the Centralia and Sturgeon funeral homes from Bill and Mary Ann Meador.

From 2008 to 2012 the funeral homes went through periods of remodeling. From the new roofs, carpet, concrete, and sound systems, we were able to rededicate our Centralia location. Later we added a complete York Room to display our caskets, vaults and urns. Finally in October 2012 we were able to add a brand new parking area in Centralia, MO.

Our goal is to be a funeral home that will not only raise the bar in our industry, but will serve the needs of each and every family we serve.
