Our Story
The Bauer Family tradition of caring began in 1947 when Amberson C. Bauer founded the first Bauer Funeral Home in Kittanning. When Amby's son Jack joined the growing business in 1970, the Bauer Funeral Home became truly a family enterprise. In 1984, father and son purchased Clark Chapel of Elderton from Clarence Clark. Following Amby's death in 1992, Jack assumed responsibility as President of the Bauer Family Funeral Homes. Jack purchased the Bly Funeral Home in Dayton in 1996 from Frank and Sally Bly, expanding the Bauer Family of funeral homes to its present number.
Our vision of serving the community with compassion and understanding was begun by Amby Bauer in 1947 and continues to be realized as the family business grows through the generations. Amby's granddaughter, Jennifer Bauer Eroh, is a licensed funeral director who joined the business in 1998 and continues the family tradition of caring and service into the next generation.
The Bauer Family is proud to offer the finest facilities at reasonable costs for everyone in the communities we serve.
