History

Founders Sheldon C. "Pete" Collier (1909-1982)
and Bernice M. Collier (1910 - 1999)

Collier’s Funeral Home was founded by the late Sheldon C. "Pete" Collier in 1946. Mr. Collier was licensed as an embalmer and funeral director in 1929 at the age of 20. After serving with other St. Louis area funeral homes, he established his own firm on St. Charles Rock Road in St. Ann, Missouri, where the business remained for 45 years.

In 1991, Robert E. & Thomas E. Collier, sons of the founders, relocated the family business to a new 15,000 square foot facility located at 3400 N. Lindbergh Boulevard in Bridgeton, Missouri.
