About Palmer Funeral Home-Hickey Chapel

Palmer Funeral Home-Hickey Chapel is an independently owned funeral home serving the South Bend area, which may appeal to families who prefer working with a locally rooted business rather than a corporate chain. As a full-service funeral home, they are equipped to handle a range of arrangements including both burial and cremation services. Direct cremation starts at $1,470, which is a reasonable entry point worth comparing against other local providers as you gather quotes. The home holds a 4.5-star Google rating, though with only 23 reviews, that score reflects a relatively small sample size, so it may be worth seeking additional feedback from local community members or funeral planning resources.
