The NFDA 2025 International Convention & Expo in Chicago was a pivotal event for funeral professionals nationwide, and Hilton Funeral Supply once again proved why it’s a must-visit booth for funeral directors.
Since 1992, Hilton Funeral Supply has supplied the
funeral profession with trust, care, and innovation. From Tom Patten’s
grandfather’s monument business founded in 1917, to his father’s cremation
urn company, and now Hilton’s national presence with the recent addition of
Conner Patten, the fourth generation, Hilton continues its mission: help
funeral directors serve families with excellence and efficiency.
This year, the Hilton team—Tom Patten, Jason Weir, and
Conner Patten—welcomed attendees at Booth #2413, showcasing products
designed to help funeral home profits and margins.
A Family Legacy Driving Innovation
Hilton Funeral Supply’s longevity is rooted in a family-driven
culture of service and dedication.
The Patten Family: Tom Patten, Tim Patten, Conner
Patten, and Celeste Lyke along with their dedicated staff lead the company’s
mission to deliver solutions that enhance funeral home profitability and
simplify operations.
“Family-owned means family connected,” says Tom Patten.
“Our team and our customers are part of that family. That’s what sets Hilton
apart.”
