From the time I was young, I've been proud of our family's history of funeral service in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Upon purchasing this funeral home in Mt. Oliver (formerly J.D. Schaub's, late 1890's - 1967, and H.A. Farnsworth's 1967 - 2009), I reminisce and picture those times, over a century ago, when my family was working and living here on the hilltop.

I more fully realize, and appreciate, one of the things in life that takes time. Relationships. And that is what gives meaning to funerals. Please feel free to contact me with any needs or questions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Take a few moments to express your wishes now and help to ease the burden on your loved ones.

Pre-Arrangements
Report
When it comes to your personal arrangements, it can be helpful to discuss your ideas with your family and funeral director. It can also be helpful to discuss funding options. Working together in this way can create a sense of relief for both you and your family. I would like to share the response letter below concerning a phone call received asking about funeral information.
Veterans Overview
Report
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.
Veterans Headstones
Report
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).
Veterans Burial Flags
Report
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
Frequent Questions
Report
Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death.
