Our funeral home
Our history begins in 1957, when our first officein the center of Athens was founded by Anastasios Papamakarios. It was the beginningof a long family professional tradition in this field.
This office was the driving force for Anastasios Papamakarios to set goalsand exceed them. His fellow citizens recognized his genuinenterest and his exceptional professionalism and consequently, in1983 and 1994 two of his subsequentoffices were opened.
This course continued at the same pace, andtoday we own 5 branches in Attica and the establishment ofthe European-style main offices in Pallini.
Valuable additions to the evolution of Papamakarios Funeral Services were the sonand grandchildren of the founder, Mr. George Papamakarios, AnastasiosPapamakarios, and Stylianos Papamakarios. One of the most importanthighlights was the replacement the previously knownterm "Funeral Home" with "Funeral Services", thuslaunching a new definition for the entire industry.
In the eyes of the Papamakarios family, funeral was a social service,not a profession. After all, our founder's principles werenon-negotiable - quality, professionalism, care. In oneword, anthropocentric.
Being devoted to the mentality we have been taught, we try tocontribute to the social work of our municipalities, with donations of epitaphs andpro bono funerals when the need arises.We focused on providing a complete service, and asa result we now have the only vertical service unit in Greecen the field of ceremonies.
The premises are proprietary and designed to meet all the needs ofthe people who come to our offices, where they will be welcomedby our specially trained personnel. We have our own fleetof vehicles to ensure the quality for which we are known.
Today, the name “Papamakarios” equals quality andreliability. As of today, our operations are based on respect,discretion, and personal care. People have always beenat the center of our work. In essence, these are the elements responsible for makingPapamakarios Funeral Services known all over Greece and establishingcollaborations with even funeral homes abroad.
