"A Family Serving Families" has been our slogan for over 80 years, and it represents an approach that we're proud of.

While offering traditional and non-traditional services, advance planning, and on-site cremation services, we strive to provide a delicate balance of compassion and professionalism while minimizing the difficulty of a loss.

Our Story

"A Family Serving Families" has been our slogan for over 80 years, and it represents an approach that we're proud of. Funeral service has been the traditional family occupation in our family since 1919, when my Grandfather Vernon opened our first funeral home in Pleasantville, Pennsylvania. In 1936, my Uncle Fred opened another firm in Dale Borough, just outside of Johnstown. Soon to follow would be my Uncle Louis and my father, Jack Sr., both owning and operating firms in Bedford County. Our third generation began with my brother, Jack Jr., who now owns and oversees the operation of three homes in Bedford County.

From day to day, we embrace the challenges of operating as an independent funeral home, maintaining a family-oriented approach to serving our community in a day when corporate buy-outs, silent partners, and outside investors are attempting to infiltrate this unique and dynamic industry. Our diverse staff not only includes five licensed funeral directors, but also a vast number of others, people who are your neighbors and friends. ........Because we know, without question, that a friendly, familiar face is an invaluable comfort to those in difficult times. While offering traditional and non-traditional services, advance planning, and on-site cremation services, we strive to provide a delicate balance of compassion and professionalism while minimizing the difficulty of a loss. We measure our performance by the sincerity in the thank you's we receive, not the bottom line in a quarterly stock report, which may be the reason we've grown to become Chambersburg's preferred funeral home.
