Amory Funeral Home Professional Service. Personal Attention. SuperMedia Content Disclaimer: http://spag.es/hjh9DV The funeral home has grown along with county. Burcher.

For over eighty years Amory Funeral Home has been of service to the people of York County. The Amory family has called York County home for many generations. At one time they owned a general store, post office and farm in the Grafton section of the county. In 1887 they started Grafton Bottling works which was one of the earliest soft drink companies in the United States. They continued in business until 1942 when wartime rationing forced the bottling works to go out of business. In 1929, Earnest Amory made one more purchase. He bought a funeral home from Clinton Wainwright and Captain Eddy Burcher. In the 1920s Earnest Amory worked at the funeral home and was trained by Capt. In 1929 Wainwright sold out his share to Burcher and later on that year he sold out to Earnest Amory. He also purchased a 1929 Chevrolet hearse. In those early years, Amory Funeral Home averaged about 25 calls a year.
