About Us
Welcome to Billings Funeral Home, Altera Cremation Services, and The Gathering Place at Centre 1231 in Elkhart, Indiana—where every farewell is thoughtfully shaped to reflect the unique beauty of a life well lived.
Founded in 1996 by Brad Billings, our funeral home was built on the belief that honoring a loved one should be both personal and heartfelt. That commitment remains at the core of our mission today. Our experienced and compassionate team continues to serve the Elkhart community with dignified, meaningful, and affordable care.
