Our funeral home
Our history begins in 1957, when our first office
in the center of Athens was founded by Anastasios Papamakarios. It was the beginning
of a long family professional tradition in this field.
This office was the driving force for Anastasios Papamakarios to set goals
and exceed them. His fellow citizens recognized his genuine
nterest and his exceptional professionalism and consequently, in
1983 and 1994 two of his subsequent
offices were opened.
This course continued at the same pace, and
today we own 5 branches in Attica and the establishment of
the European-style main offices in Pallini.
Valuable additions to the evolution of Papamakarios Funeral Services were the son
and grandchildren of the founder, Mr. George Papamakarios, Anastasios
Papamakarios, and Stylianos Papamakarios. One of the most important
highlights was the replacement the previously known
term "Funeral Home" with "Funeral Services", thus
launching 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 were
non-negotiable - quality, professionalism, care. In one
word, anthropocentric.
Being devoted to the mentality we have been taught, we try to
contribute to the social work of our municipalities, with donations of epitaphs and
pro bono funerals when the need arises.
We focused on providing a complete service, and as
a result we now have the only vertical service unit in Greece
n the field of ceremonies.
The premises are proprietary and designed to meet all the needs of
the people who come to our offices, where they will be welcomed
by our specially trained personnel. We have our own fleet
of vehicles to ensure the quality for which we are known.
Today, the name “Papamakarios” equals quality and
reliability. As of today, our operations are based on respect,
discretion, and personal care. People have always been
at the center of our work. In essence, these are the elements responsible for making
Papamakarios Funeral Services known all over Greece and establishing
collaborations with even funeral homes abroad.
Our mission
Our pillars are the human-centered approach and the continuous evolution. Therefore, we continue to carry out our work, which is based on our extensive experience and unparalleled quality of our services.
