From a humble beginning over 65 years ago, the Thomas P. Kearney Funeral Home's Old Forge location opened to serve its neighboring families in their most difficult times. From its humble inception serving several families each year, the business continued to grow through Thomas' and his son Kevin K. Kearney's tireless work ethic and active involvement in the community.
As many neighborhood funeral homes closed their doors, the father and son team began to serve a greater range of ethnicities and religions, eventually becoming the most trusted choice in funeral homes. Eventually the firm expanded to Scranton with the purchase of the Durkan-Cuff-Kearney Funeral Home over 40 years ago.

Services
A funeral represents a purposeful opportunity to reflect on the meaning of a life that has been lived and to determine the impact of that meaning for the family and friends. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you.
If I said a million thank yous to Kevin and his incredible staff, it wouldn't be enough. The care and attention to detail was so incredible that my whole family was completely blown away. He thought of every small detail and went way above and beyond to meet all our needs. The extras Kevin thought of added such an incredible element to the celebration of my Mom's life.
Funerals provide surviving family members and friends a caring, supportive environment in which to recognize the death of a loved one and to share thoughts and feelings about that person. Funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is possible to have a full funeral service even for those choosing cremation.
Our lives are important, not only to us, but also to our loved ones, and their children, and their children's children. Choose a memorial of distinction to preserve your memories. Let us help you create a memorial that tells your life's story. We are experienced in the creation of appropriate, meaningful memorials that commemorate life and preserve its precious memories.
Pre-funding (Pre-payment) - On top of dealing with the loss of a loved one, the realization that the funds to pay for the funeral still must be found can be devastating to a family. Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before.
Because of factors such as cost inflation, migration of family, and the ultimate peace of mind to know that your affairs are in order, planning your own funeral can make a lot of sense.By pre-paying your funeral, you not only remove the financial burden from your family, but also protect those funds from being lost in the event you require care in a nursing home, or from some other catastrophic expense.

Kevin and his staff handled all the viewing and funeral details for my Grams and we didn't want anyone else when it came time for my Gramps. Kevin is one of the most caring, kind and compassionate human beings. When losing a loved one, it's nice to know that those handling the details, big and small, handle with care...Kevin does just that! So very thankful for him and his staff during the difficult times.

I truly recommend Kearney funeral home to anybody who is looking for one. Having lost a loved one and feeling lost and confused has been eased dealing with Kevin. Knowing that your loved will be in good hands is very important and Kearney Funeral Home will make sure that your loved one is taken care of with tender care.

Kevin has helped our family through difficult times with his kind hearted attitude. He is always available to answer our questions through this process. He is more than a funeral director, he's a friend. Our family loves working with him and we always tell others to use him as well. Thank you Kevin.

I can’t begin to explain the kindness and empathy that was shown towards my family from Kevin. Kevin has helped us on three different occasions and has always gone above and beyond. There is a sense of relief knowing that your Loved Ones are being taken care of in a respectful, loving manner. Kevin takes a very difficult situation and has a way of putting everyone at ease. The Love and Care he has shown towards my Family and myself will never be forgotten.
