Founded in 1908 by Harold B. Mulligan, Mulligan Funeral Home became synonymous with caring compassionate service to all those in need. Over the years, Harold B. Mulligan became known not only for his business accomplishments, but also his humanitarian deeds.
Presidential commendations for his care of veterans who lost their lives in the line of service, the founding of the Philadelphia Home for the Blind and the founding of the "Happy Times Club" which provided hot lunch meals daily to local children were all part of Mr. Mulligan's legacy.Licensed as a Funeral Director in 1996, T.J.

Funeral services offers comfort. Viewing the embalmed body in a peaceful state during visitation makes it easier for family and friends to say goodbye and to gain closure. Private time is reserved for family before the public visitation. Floral arrangements, photographs, personal mementos and other special items foster memories and help us pay honor to the life lived.
Cremation is a personal and family decision that is often part of a final tribute to a loved one. Families may be unaware of the options they have and decisions they may need to make when a loved one dies. Remember, cremation does not limit your choices in creating a final memorial, or visitation. After cremation, remains may be placed in an urn and the memorialization of your choice can then be fulfilled.
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.

It may seem odd to review a funeral home but I can't say enough about TJ,Korinne and the entire staff. Korinne was exceptionally kind and attentive. She made herself available for any questions and always followed up quickly. TJ made sure everything was to our satisfaction during the entire process. He treated our family with so much respect. This is a difficult time for any family but by the end it felt like it they were a part of our family.

TJ Fluehr and his staff are amazing! They are professional, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. They handled the final arrangements for my sister and made the process very easy. They were gracious, comforting and respectable during every phone call and interaction that we had. I am thankful for TJ and all his staff for all their help.

The staff at T. J. Fluehr Funeral Home exemplify professionalism to the utmost. My family and I recently buried my brother last month, and we have nothing but praise for T.
