13 US Generational Family-Owned Funeral Homes Are Over 150 Years Old



Several of the longevity practices that turned up in my research of companies over 100 years old have to do with personalized customer service and close ties to the firm's local community. Perhaps because these are also practices of well-run funeral homes, we find a rather large number (relatively speaking) among Century Club Companies and that the majority of these have been run by the same family for generations. Longevity congratulations to the following generational funeral homes in operation for over 150 years. I would love to hear of more!

Backman Funeral Home, Strasburg PA  1769  8th generation

Rogers Funeral Home, Frankfort KY  1802  7th generation
