Mark and Becky Styninger began the Styninger family funeral homes in 1991 with the purchase of three small funeral homes in Central Illinois. In 2000 they sold these homes and moved to Southern Illinois to raise their children and expand their family business. With over 20 years of experience, the Styninger's are committed to the funeral profession. It is their philosophy that a family owned and operated funeral home exceeds the operations of a large corporate owned funeral home in every aspect.

Mark is a native of Lincoln, Illinois and graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1985. A licensed Funeral Director/Embalmer, he is very active in the day to day operations of the funeral homes. Mark is also the Washington County Coroner.

Becky is from Mattoon, Illinois and studied music at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois. She teaches piano and music in her home studio and assists in the daily operations of the business.

Mark and Becky along with their children; Brock, Bryce and Bridget reside in Nashville.
