Services
The 1986-constructed building occupies the corner of Kimberly and Jersey Ridge roads in eastern Davenport, designed intentionally to evoke a residential atmosphere rather than institutional architecture. The facility centers around a trademark clock tower marking the southwest corner of the property. Interior spaces include flexible chapel configuration for religious events, a coffee lounge, and on-site musical instruments. The property features landscaped water elements visible in facility photography. As part of the Dignity Memorial network, the location connects families to broader cemetery and memorialization resources throughout the region.
Weerts structures services around customization capabilities, accommodating both large gatherings and intimate services with attention to specific cultural, religious, and personal preferences.
Weerts Funeral Home carries a lineage dating to 1909, when O.C. Hill established a funeral home on West 4th Street in downtown Davenport. The business evolved through Hill & Fredericks Mortuary before Edward R. Weerts and his wife—both licensed morticians from Illinois—acquired the firm in 1955. Their sons, E. Robert "Bob" Weerts and James "Jim" F. Weerts, joined in 1956 and 1960 respectively, eventually constructing the current facility at 3625 Jersey Ridge Road, which opened in 1986 with a signature clock tower as its defining architectural feature.
The building was designed to resemble a residence rather than a commercial structure, a deliberate choice by the Weerts brothers to create a more welcoming environment. David Deuth became a partner in 2003 and assumed ownership in 2005, continuing the family-operated tradition until the home joined the Dignity Memorial network. The location now serves families throughout the Quad Cities region from its eastern Davenport position.
As a member of National Selected Morticians since 1918—an invitation-only association limiting membership to one firm per community—Weerts maintains a historical commitment to business practice standards that predates its modern corporate affiliation.
