McMikle Funeral Home

McMikle Funeral Home is a family-owned and operated funeral service provider that has been serving families in Scott and Mississippi counties in Missouri since its founding in 1951. The business was established by Elgin and Sue Allen McMikle, who opened their doors for service in East Prairie in January 1952, and then expanded to Charleston in 1954. For over seven decades, McMikle Funeral Home has been a cornerstone of compassion and professionalism in the communities it serves. In February 2020, the business expanded further with the purchase of the former Blanchard Funeral Chapel in Sikeston, Missouri, allowing the home to extend its reach and serve even more families in need. On January 31, 2024, the ownership of McMikle Funeral Home was transferred to Terry A. Parker, who has a deep and long-standing connection with the home. Terry's involvement with the funeral home began in his toddler years, as his parents worked alongside the founders for many years. When Terry was 17, his sincere interest in the funeral business was observed, and his dedication and commitment to service have been evident ever since. The transition of ownership ensures that the legacy begun by the McMikle family 73 years ago will continue into the future, maintaining the same high standards of care and personal attention that the home is known for.

McMikle Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of families during their time of loss. These services include traditional funeral and burial packages, cremation services, and pre-planning options. The funeral home works closely with families to design a service that honors the life story of their loved one, providing affordable options that allow for meaningful remembrance. Cremation packages are available starting at $2,065.00, and funeral packages start at $4,695.00, ensuring that families have choices that fit their budget. Pre-planning services allow individuals to create a clear and thoughtful plan for the future, relieving their family of the burden of making difficult decisions during an emotional time. The home also offers veteran services, grief support, and online obituary notifications to keep the community informed.

Located at 201 South Center Street in Charleston, Missouri, the funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible with on-site parking.
