Sale
of Kerrigan Funeral Home keeps ownership local
[JUNE
27, 2002]
The family of the late J. Richard
Kerrigan, owner of Kerrigan Funeral Home, Lincoln, has announced the
sale of the funeral home to Don Peasley of Atlanta. One of only
three funeral homes in Lincoln, the funeral home name will change to
Kerrigan-Peasley Funeral Home effective July 1.
|
|
Dennis Kerrigan,
family spokesman, said, "The family is pleased to have found a buyer
who was born and raised in the Lincoln area. We think our father
would be happy with our decision."
Don Peasley, 38, has
worked in the funeral industry for 17 years in Atlanta and other
locations throughout central Illinois, including Quincy, Decatur,
Peoria and Bloomington.
Don has a long history of service to the
people of Logan County through activities that include the 4-H
Cooperative Extension programs and emergency medical and fire
departments.
"I look forward to
moving to Lincoln from Atlanta and continuing to serve the people of
Logan County," Don said. "My goal is to provide quality and
dignified service."
[to top of second column in
this article] |
Kerrigan Funeral Home
was opened in 1933 by John Kerrigan, father of J. Richard Kerrigan,
at a Kickapoo Street address. The business moved to its current
Delavan Street location in 1946. Family-run for nearly 70 years,
this sale provides that the business will remain owner-operated.
The Kerrigan family
thanks "the many families who entrusted their loved ones to the care of our
father’s and grandfather’s business over the years," said Dennis. "We also thank Joe Rabbit for his years of service with the funeral
home."
Joe is returning to his hometown of Streator.

Where
do you go for the
goods and services you want?
In
the know…
You
finally discover where the best chai in town is and you’re
ecstatic! Then you discover it’s been there a year or so and no
one told you about it. You’re exasperated! Local businesses change
hands, move, increase their stock or services, do all sorts of
things you’d really like to know about, and somehow you don’t
get in on it.
