History & Staff

When we sit down with a family, we have just one goal: to create a fitting, memorable and affordable service for their loved one. Together, we explore the wide variety of services and products available, as well as a wealth of creative ideas and suggestions.
Together, we'll design a memorial or funeral service that suits their needs now, and in the future. Families who come to us know that years from now, they will have deep peace-of-mind because in coming to us, they've done their best to honor their loved one.
Our Beginnings
Since 1912, four generations of the Pasco family have owned and operated Pasco Memorial Mortuary (now Stillinger Family Funeral Home). Originally, the Pasco family operated the funeral home from a store-front located on West Main Street in downtown Greenfield. In the mid twenties they relocated to a large home located at 312 E. Main Street. Historically the Pasco family business grew along with the city of Greenfield and several generations of Pascos have memorialized many friends and families of the James Whitcomb Riley birthplace here in central Indiana. Chancy Pasco was honored by being invited to assist with the funeral of this man who was Indiana's most published poet, native of Greenfield and internationally famous celebrity.
As the town continued to grow, so did the business outreach into Hancock county and surrounding counties. The building at 312 E. Main Street was enlarged in the 1940's with a new west chapel and in the 1980's with a north addition. With the addition of each new Pasco generation the business continually grew until Dave and Richard Pasco decided in December of 1999 to relocate the operation to a new, state of the art, one level facility on the near west side at 1780 W. Main Street.
A Home Filled with Warmth & Compassion
On September 1, 2001 Dave and Richard Pasco sold Pasco Memorial Mortuary to local county residents, David and Susan (Condo) Stillinger, who have an extensive background in operating a family owned funeral home (Condo & Son Funeral Home, Wilkinson). David and Susan are continually striving to develop a more family friendly, home oriented atmosphere so as to keep pace with ever-changing progress and innovations in the funeral business. They and their caring staff reflect a determined committment to carry on many of the great traditions of the legendary Pasco family with their qualities of integrity and care.
Our Commitment to You

In doing so, we not only offer a variety of service options that we hope will exceed your expectations, but we are also committed to planning a funeral service that meets your needs.
We offer a full-range of traditional, customized or special memorial and cremation services for all the families we serve. It's important for us to help you pay tribute with a more personalized approach to funeral services, which may not be limited to our equipment or chapel.
