About
The History of Pechacek Funeral Homes
The Welge Funeral Home was established in 1882. In 1985, a new chapel was built in Evansville, Illinois. These funeral homes would remain in the Welge Family until the funeral homes were sold to Ronald and Pamela Pechacek in June of 1990. At that time the funeral home was named Welge-Pechacek Funeral Homes. In 1994, a new location was built in Pam’s hometown of Red Bud, Illinois. In 2000, a new facility was constructed in Chester, Illinois. In the summer of 2001, Welge-Pechacek Funeral Home merged with the Schroeder-McClure Funeral Chapel; creating one funeral home in Chester named Pechacek-McClure Funeral Home. Upon Ron’s death in June 2017, his family took a year to figure out the best direction for the funeral home would be. In September 1, 2018, Pechacek Funeral Homes was created in honor of Ron’s dedication and love for the funeral business and his communities he served for the last 40 years.
