At all four locations of Wheelan-Pressly Funeral Home & Crematory, honoring and remembering lives has been our calling for over 130 years. The health and safety of the families we serve and our staff are first and foremost in our minds during this time.
Our funeral homes in Rock Island, Milan and Reynolds, Illinois, are offering in person gatherings. Our staff will make enhanced cleaning procedures a priority at our facilities and hand sanitizer, antibacterial soap and Kleenex will be provided.
In addition to in-person gatherings, we also offer Live Stream services from two of our locations so people can watch funeral services remotely. Our Rock Island location at 3030-7th Avenue and Milan location at 201 E. 4th Avenue now offer families the option of webcasting funeral services for remote viewing.
