We are excited to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website today!

After countless late nights of planning, designing, and creating, we have developed a more modern, informative, and user-friendly experience for the families we serve. Our goal was to make it easier than ever to access information, explore our services, and find helpful resources when they are needed most.

We invite you to take a look and explore the new site at www.patefh.com We are proud to continue serving Southern Illinois with dignity, respect, and compassionate care.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

If the old design still appears for you, or some of the features appear broken, please be patient as the website is still actively uploading all the new contents. We appreciate your understanding.

Pate Funeral Home offers compassionate burial & cremation services. Trust our family-owned business for support during your time of need.
