Preserving History and Making New Traditions

The community of Du Quoin and surrounding Perry County areas now have a new option to help assist during the delicate process of a loved one’s death and final arrangements.

The historical Maxton Funeral Home, previously owned and operated under the late Frank Maxton, will reopen fully in the summer of 2020 as the Maxton-Rosado Funeral Home and Event Center in the beautiful downtown district of Du Quoin, Illinois. The funeral home, located at 11 South Hickory Street in Du Quoin, is now proudly being re-opened by the new owners, William and Vonda Rosado.

William was born and raised in the Du Quoin area, having attended the Sacred Heart Catholic School and graduating from the Elverado High School. With a Bachelors Degree in Business Management from Southern Illinois University, William serves as the Executive Manager of the funeral home and event center. He is also a licensed pre-need specialist, able to assist families with any pre-planning process. Vonda is a 1991 graduate of Herrin High School and a 1994 graduate of the Southern Illinois University Mortuary Science Program. She has been a licensed funeral director and embalmer for more than twenty-six years. Vonda is also a licensed pre-need specialist.

Not only will the beautiful home serve as a funeral home, the 5000 square foot home will also host events such as family reunions, wedding receptions, board meetings, community functions, intimate gathering rooms, and more.

"We are more than a funeral home, we are now truly a community steward and are able to give back to the city. We felt the need to offer additional event services. This facility will enable us to provide services and events like no other in the surrounding communities. We envision having continuous programs for families, including movie nights, children's activities, and socials. We envision the center as a place for all people from all walks of life to enjoy the facility for whatever purpose they intend.

The Maxton-Rosado Funeral Home will offer affordable services and cater to all funeral needs including prearranging of services, cremations, celebrations of life, and full traditional funeral ceremonies. The Rosado’s wanted to reopen the funeral home as they felt a strong need in the community for an affordable but high-quality funeral home. “I think we really encompass the families that we work with and engage with them on a more compassionate level. We realize our clients come from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances. We strive to serve families equally, regardless of what their financial situation is. That's something that my mentors, Larry and Diane Hughes, always prided themselves on — what they have instilled in me. To be able to help any family that comes through our door."

It is a great honor to have the opportunity to carry on where Mr. Maxton left off. He was a staple in the community of Du Quoin, and his legacy deserves to be remembered. Frank was named Rotarian of the year in 2000, Du Quoin's Citizen of the year in 2005, and upon his retirement, was awarded Du Quoin's highest honor by former Mayor John Rednour when he declared Oct. 27, 2012, as Frank Maxton Appreciation Day. Francis McCara “Frank” Maxton passed away on September 21, 2014 at the age of 80.

"We have a tremendous passion for helping people. When you lose a loved one, it’s the most emotionally draining experience you could ever go though. To help people in that time of their life is very rewarding. We are beyond thankful to be able to share this opportunity with the Du Quoin community and include our family in this beautiful journey.” William and Vonda have four children- Preston, Kamen, Parker, and Keaton; one grandson- Braxton; parents- Jesus and Marian Rosado of Elkville, and Gloria and the late Robert E. Robison of Energy. Serving our community as a family is a privilege we do not take lightly.

Now booking events of any kind and open by appointment for funeral pre-planning.
