Stewart and Carroll Funeral Home has been serving the Paris community for five generations, most recently under the leadership of Thomas D. Carroll. Tom loved serving the families who entrusted their loved ones to his care. He will be remembered as a man who was kind, patient, and truly had a heart for serving others.
The family and staff at Stewart and Carroll Funeral Home are proud to continue serving the families of Paris and the surrounding areas. When you walk through the doors of the funeral home, you will find several familiar faces and some new ones too. We are grateful for the dedication of Luke Magers, Harlee Englum, and Jeff Leverenz as they continue to work alongside us and are happy to introduce Dan Krabel and John Fitzpatrick as staff members. These individuals are dedicated to continuing Tom’s legacy by providing the same attention to detail and professionalism that you have come to know and expect. We know that Tom would be proud to have each of these individuals carry on his life’s work. You will also continue to see members of Carroll family present to help meet the needs of all families during their most difficult time.
We will honor Tom’s memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.
