Battle of Sacramento.
McLean County and the City of Sacramento host the annual Battle of Sacramento on the actual grounds that the Civil War Battle was held almost 150 years ago. We are proud to be a part of the re-enactment through the use of our funeral tents, our horse-drawn hearse, the use of our formal limousines for re-enactors, and financial contributions.

McLean County's
American Cancer Society
- Relay for Life.
For a relatively small county, McLean County has turned the eyes towards our area with its performance in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. In the second year, McLean County raised more than $74,000.00 to help find a cure for cancer. Muster Funeral Homes participates through corporate sponsorship, staff assistance, and the use of our funeral tents.
If you would be interested in making a contribution or helping with the Relay for Life please feel free to contact Muster Funeral Homes at (270) 273-3124.
Riverside Manor's Senior Prom.
Riverside Manor Health Care Center in Calhoun annually hosts a Senior Prom for its residents and their families. The event gives each family the opportunity to fellowship together and enjoy the night in a special setting. Muster Funeral Homes supports this event through the use of our formal limousines at the prom.

Annual Holiday Memorial Service.
In remembrance of each family and to offer support during the upcoming holiday season, Muster Funeral Homes sponsors a community wide Holiday Memorial Service on the first Sunday in December.
During the service, each person in attendance is given a piece of holly in memory of their loved one. Each family then places their pieces of holly in one of two wreaths. The wreaths are then kept at each chapel through the holiday seasons in remembrance of each family.
The service is hosted by the Calhoun Baptist Church. Everyone is invited to attend regardless of when their loss was or if their family was served by another funeral home.
