About Us

For more than a century, Mack & Payne Funeral Home has been a steady presence for families in Athens, Georgia, and the surrounding area. Established in 1912 and still family-owned today, our funeral home reflects generations of dedication to serving others with care, respect, and integrity. We are privileged to support families of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds, and we take special care to honor veterans and members of the military whose service deserves recognition.
Every life tells a story, and we believe each farewell should be as individual as the person it honors. Our staff works closely with families to create services that feel personal, thoughtful, and true to the memories being remembered. Whether planning a traditional service, a memorial gathering, or a celebration of life, we focus on the details that matter most, helping families create a meaningful tribute that brings comfort and remembrance.
We also provide guidance with all aspects of burial planning, offering a range of caskets, urns, burial vaults, headstones, and markers. For veterans and their families, our team assists with navigating military benefits, including burial flags and Presidential Memorial Certificates, so these honors are handled with care and accuracy.
From the first conversation through the final moments of remembrance, our experienced staff is here to provide steady guidance and reassurance. We help families understand their options and make decisions with confidence, ensuring each service is carried out smoothly and with dignity.
After more than 100 years of service, we’ve learned that meaningful support is rooted in listening, understanding, and being present. Mack & Payne Funeral Home remains committed to walking beside families during times of loss, offering comfort, respect, and a trusted hand along the way. It is our honor to help families remember, reflect, and celebrate lives well lived.
