The funeral home has a long history of service in the Girard area. It dates back to the early 1940's when it was established as the Bruce W. Hicks Funeral Home. It also operated for a number of years as the Jaworowicz Funeral Home. The funeral home was purchased in January of 2001 by Daniel R. Edder. The Edder Funeral Home continues to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere in a spacious and restored turn-of-the-century home.

When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
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. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
