History
For over 75 years, the Brubaker Funeral Home has provided the Catasauqua/Whitehall/Hanover Twsp. area with outstanding funeral service.
Originally, the property was known as the private residence of Leonard Peckitt, president of the former Crane Iron Works of Catasauqua. In 1930, Oliver S. Burkholder purchased the property and made it a funeral home. Later, his son Thomas A. Burkholder owned and operated the facility. John H. Brubaker purchased the funeral home in 1978 and further developed its reputation for exceptional, customized service.
The Brubaker Funeral Home now helps families to personalize traditional funeral services with multimedia, photographs, and musical selections as well as offering cremation, pre-arrangement and memorial services. Over the years, the Brubaker Funeral Home has maintained its original Victorian interior while becoming handicapped accessible and updating all facilities.
In 2006, John Brubaker¹s son, Andrew, joined the funeral home as a licensed funeral director. Most recently the business has incorporated under the name Brubaker Funeral Home, Inc. with J. Andrew Brubaker as owner and Supervisor and John H. Brubaker as a full-time funeral director.
Together, John and Andrew Brubaker have dedicated themselves to providing meaningful funeral service with professionalism and integrity in all aspects of conduct and operation.
