KINDNESS SPREADS
Introducing the Blessing Box at Maxton-Rosado Funeral Home in Centralia!
We're thrilled to launch this community-driven initiative, inspired by the kindness and generosity of our other boxes in Du Quoin. When we purchased the funeral home, Cindy Hansen and I were casually talking about how we wanted to bring that here. One day, the cabinet had appeared in the basement! Cindy had surprised us with a beautiful cabinet for our Blessing Box - a gesture that warmed our hearts and reinforced the importance of giving back.
The Blessing Box is a simple yet powerful way to support our neighbors in need. Stocked with non-perishable food items, toiletries, and other essentials, it's a revolving door of kindness where you can:
- Take what you need
- Leave what you can
Our goal is to provide a discreet and accessible way for people to get the help they need, while also encouraging others to pay it forward. We envision this concept spreading throughout our community, with churches, businesses, and individuals joining in to make a difference.
We're grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us, and we hope you'll join us in this effort. Let's shine a light of kindness in Centralia!
*Blessing Box Details:*
- Location: 134 S Elm St, Centralia (near the alley, across from legion, on the back side of the veteran sign)
- Open 24/7
- Stocked with non-perishable food, toiletries, and more
Let's come together to make a difference, one blessing at a time! 🙏

Lovingly Written by the Copher Family
In Loving Memory of their beloved Phoenix
Phoenix was a very big part of the Copher Family. Phoenix was a loving dog and protector of the house and extremely protective of her momma, Jena. Phoenix loved to play catch with her ball and frisbee. Phoenix was her momma’s everything and she was her constant. Phoenix will be missed by many but will remain in the hearts of the Copher Family~

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.
