Brian and Adrienne Murphy, the owners and operators of Vancil-Murphy Funeral Home, saw the increased need and demand for affordable cremation services in Springfield and surrounding areas. In an effort to meet these needs, we are happy to announce that we are Springfield’s newest cremation provider with the opening of
Premier Cremation Services. We understand that some families only want a simple cremation for their loved one and prefer to arrange the cremation online in the comfort of their homes. We are committed to providing the families we serve with quality cremation services at affordable prices and the dignity, care, and respect their loved ones deserve. This is reflected in the multiple simple cremation packages we offer. We are proud to offer the highest quality of service with fair and honest pricing. We are so confident in our pricing, selection, and value of the services we provide that we offer a  PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE. If you are given a better price quote by another Springfield area funeral home or cremation service provider, please bring in or send us a copy of the price quote, and we guarantee that we will match or beat any price for identical services and comparable merchandise.
