Many times, your loss is also our loss. Just as you mourn a loved one, we often mourn a friend that we've been close to in this community. Which is why we place a special value on the town we live in, the town we serve, and the people of Hampshire County. Shaffer Funeral Home has been around for 60+ years now and it is hoped it will be around another 60+ years.
While the old Cornwell Mansion is now used primarily as a funeral home many will attest that it has a warmth and inviting appeal not ordinarily found in such a place. Many social community events have been held at Shaffer's; Hospice events, Rotary functions, unique memorial services just to name a few.
