Walker Funeral Service and Chapel operates its Springfield location at 2300 E. Cook Street, a facility opened in 2005 to extend the company's reach from its original Decatur roots. The business was founded in 1996 by Dr. Thomas E. Walker, Senior Pastor and Founder of Main Street Church of the Living God, who combined his ministry background with entrepreneurship to establish a funeral home emphasizing dignity and community connection.
The Springfield branch emerged after community members encouraged Dr. Walker to bring his services to the capital city. Now operating for over 28 years across multiple central Illinois locations, the company maintains its original mission while serving families through traditional funerals, cremations, and personalized memorial options. The Walker family remains actively involved in leadership, with Dr. Walker serving as Chief Executive Officer and Margaret Walker as Executive Officer.
