In addition to serving our historically faithful families and friends, in the past year we have had the opportunity to serve families and friends that normally would have been served by the Gibbons Funeral Home, Coalport. During this time, we have also assisted numerous families in transferring prearranged funerals from that funeral home to ours. Due to Dan Gibbons’ well-deserved, announced retirement and the closing of the funeral home in Coalport, a void in the funeral services in that area has existed.
Please know that it has been our honor and privilege to serve all our families in the past. If you are "up in the air" which firm to choose in your time of need, we consider it an honor and privilege should you choose us as your funeral home. Also, we are here to assist you in transferring your prearranged funeral that you may have with the former Gibbons Funeral Home, Coalport. They are your arrangements and you have a right to choose which funeral home you would like to handle them. Feel free to call, email or text us.
This funeral home has been in service since 1890 and I personally am entering my 41st year as funeral director. The good Lord has blessed me with wonderful health…I have no plans on retiring. My daughter, Adrienne, is pursuing her funeral director’s certification and is entering her second year of training. She is scheduled to be licensed in two years. My promise to the families we serve is that for decades to come, we will continue to offer you the comfort, friendship and compassion you deserve along with professionalism and dignity in all that we do.
