This old lady, I tell ya, heard some folks talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called beverage funeral home obituaries. Now, what in tarnation is that? I ain’t never heard of no such thing. But it got me thinkin’. My memory ain’t what it used to be, but I reckon I can piece it together.
What’s This Beverage Funeral Home?
Seems like this Beverage Funeral Home is a place where they put ya when you’re dead. Sounds kinda fancy, don’t it? We just used to bury folks up on the hill behind the church. This Beverage place, they got a whole buildin’ for it, I reckon. And they do somethin’ called cremations. Heard it got to do with fire and turn people to dust.

- They got phones, them Beverage folks.
- Number’s 815-786-6715.
- If you need to know ’bout someone dyin’, you can call ’em.
Obituaries? What in the Sam Hill?
Now, these obituaries, that’s a new one on me. Sounds like a disease, don’t it? But nah, it’s just a fancy word for tellin’ folks someone’s kicked the bucket. They write it all down, like a story of your life, I guess. My old man, bless his soul, he wouldn’t have wanted no story. Just wanted to be planted next to his ma.
They put these obituaries things on the internet, on their website. You can look them up by putting in the dead person’s name. Or you can call the funeral home. They will tell you.
These obituaries, they’re like a goodbye note, I suppose. Tellin’ everyone who you were and what you did. Some folks like that, I guess. Me, I just want to be remembered for my rhubarb pie. Best in the county, if I do say so myself.
Why Folks Look for These Obituaries?
Why do folks go lookin’ for these things? Well, I reckon it’s to find out if someone they know is gone. Kinda like when we used to put a notice in the church bulletin. ‘Cept now, everyone’s got these little boxes they stare at all day. And that’s where they find out who died.
Sometimes they want to know when the funeral is. Where to send flowers, if they’re the flower-sendin’ type. Or maybe they just want to read about the person. Remember them a little. That’s not so bad, I guess.
Sometimes, you lose someone close, you gotta know they’re really gone. It helps to see it in writin’ I guess. Like closin’ a chapter in a book. Sad, but necessary, as my old ma used to say.
How to Find These Things?
So, how do you find these beverage funeral home obituaries? Well, if you’re good with them computers, you can just type it in that Google thing. Type in the name of the person who died, and this Beverage place, and see what pops up. They got it all on their website thing, I guess.

Or, if you’re like me and you ain’t got no patience for them machines, you can just call the funeral home. They’ll tell ya what you need to know. Nice folks, from what I hear. Always willin’ to help.
What They Say in These Obituaries?
Well, they say all sorts of things. When the person was born, when they died. Who their family was. What they did for a livin’. If they had any kids. All that stuff. Sometimes they even put a picture in there. Makes it more real, I suppose. Like you’re lookin’ at the person one last time.
Some of them are real long, like a whole life story. Others are short and sweet. Just the facts, ma’am, as they say. I reckon it depends on what the family wants. And how much money they got, I suppose. Them things cost money, you know.
Like I said before, these obituaries are kinda like a goodbye note. Some families want everyone to know about the person who passed. It is important for them to let everyone know how good that person was. Also, they want to give out the service information.
This Whole Internet Thing
It’s a strange world, ain’t it? Everything’s on these little boxes now. News, gossip, even death notices. Back in my day, you had to go to the town square to find out what was goin’ on. Now, it’s all at your fingertips, they say.
I don’t know if it’s better or worse. Just different, I suppose. But I do know one thing. Even with all these fancy gadgets, people still die. And people still grieve. And people still need to say goodbye. That ain’t never gonna change, no matter how many computers they invent.
