INFORMATION UPDATE
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.

Veterans Headstones
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible Veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death.
A Government-furnished headstone or marker may be provided for eligible Veterans who died on or after Nov. 1, 1990 and whose grave is marked with a privately purchased headstone. A Government-furnished medallion may be provided for eligible Veterans who served on or after Apr. 6, 1917 and whose grave is marked with a privately purchased headstone or marker.
Flat markers in granite, marble, and bronze and upright headstones in granite and marble are available. Bronze niche markers are also available to mark columbaria used for inurnment of cremated remains. The style chosen must be permitted by the officials in charge of the private cemetery where it will be placed.
When burial or memorialization is in a national cemetery, state Veterans' cemetery, or military post/base cemetery, a headstone or marker will be ordered by the cemetery officials based on inscription information provided by the next of kin or authorized representative.
Spouses and dependents are not eligible for a Government-furnished headstone or marker unless they are buried in a national cemetery, state Veteran's cemetery, or military post/base cemetery.
Note: There is no charge for the headstone or marker itself, however arrangements for placing it in a private cemetery are the applicant's responsibility and all setting fees are at private expense.
