For decades we've been serving our community with compassion and dignity and today we're sharing our long history with you!

Part 1: The history of Hanson-Walbridge & Shea Funeral Home dates back to 1884, when J.E. Walbridge founded the Walbridge Company at 525 Main Street in Bennington. At that time, he operated both a livery service and horse-drawn coaches from the Walbridge Estate in what was then known as Walbridgeville, today called Paper Mill Village.

In the 1920s, Roy Paddock joined the firm and married J.E.’s daughter, Edith. Following Mr. Walbridge’s passing, Roy and Edith carried the business forward with dedication to the families they served. In 1927, they relocated across the street to 500 Main Street, expanding the facilities and strengthening the funeral home’s role in the community.

Stay tune for part 2!
