Specialties
Beinhauer Funeral Homes can personalize services with options that other funeral homes don’t offer. Some of the special touches that we are able to provide are an interactive Web site, personalized DVD videos, and Webcasting of funerals, which can allow those with physical considerations or travel limitations the ability to attend a loved one’s funeral service over the Internet. In addition, Beinhauer offers cremation services.
History
Established in 1860.
Ferd Beinhauer III ensured the future of the fifth generation of continuous family-owned funeral service with his son, Richard C. («Rick»). Rick became president of the company in 1979. His efforts to extend Beinhauer’s services to other areas of town began in 1982, on the property that was originally purchased by his grandfather in 1946. Again as an industry leader, Beinhauer built the first specifically designed building for funeral service in Peters Township, Washington County, which has served the community for over 30 years. In 1996, the Beinhauer legacy continued as Rick’s son Scott became the sixth Beinhauer generation to serve the community, furthering a commitment to excellence that began over 152 years ago.
