As we ring in the new year of 2026, it is natural for one to reflect back on the previous years triumphs and hardships. We can't help but think of the families who have called upon us over the course of this last year to help them on the worst day of their life. The families who's loved one is no longer here with them. We have been honored to help guide and walk that road with you in 2025.
Pictured below, is our staff of both the Shoemaker and Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Funeral Home at our company Christmas party that was hosted by the Shoemaker Family at the Indiana Country Club. With two funeral home locations, our staff doesn't see one another on a daily basis, so it's always a pleasure to get everyone together.
From our family to yours, we wish you a brighter future and a healthy and Happy New Year!

In 1891, James W. Robinson opened the Robinson Funeral Home in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania where he was joined by his sons, J. Arthur and Harold T. Robinson.
In 1928, J. Arthur opened a second funeral home in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was later joined by his nephew, R. McKay Lytle, Jr., and then by his great-nephew, Ralph M. Lytle, III. After four generations of the Robinson and Lytle families’ ownership, Richard T. Wolfe, Jr., a life-long resident of Indiana, purchased the funeral home in November, 2000.
He worked under J. Arthur Robinson as a student valet, and under both generations of the Lytle families as a funeral director.
In February 2020, Robinson-Lytle, Inc., was sold to Richard L. Shoemaker of Shoemaker Funeral Home, Inc., Blairsville, Pennsylvania and now will be known as Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Funeral Home.
The Shoemaker Family plans to bring their mission of “Our family helping yours with courtesy, kindness, a comforting hand of friendship and service to all,” to the Indiana, Pennsylvania community with keeping the high standards that James W. Robinson put in place back in 1891.
We are pleased to continue our personal service in Indiana County by helping families we serve through their most difficult times, before, during, and after the loss of a loved one.
