Hellertown

Our Hellertown Location

Our Hellertown establishment was started in 1955 by Franklin and Betty Falk. They purchased a home and a barn at the northern end of Hellertown and converted the property into a funeral home through many hours of personal hard work and physical labor. Franklin, who graduated from the former Eckel's Mortuary School in Philadelphia on the GI bill after World War Two, felt that grieving families should be offered personal service in a comfortable setting. He was assisted by his wife, Betty, until they retired in 1990.

In 2003, a major expansion project was completed to the Hellertown facility, doubling the space and adding an on-site crematory. The architectural details mimic those within the Pennsburg facility: stained glass windows, oak trim throughout, and a color scheme recommended by Hospice organizations.

The funeral home contains a spacious entry and foyer area that doubles as an art gallery featuring local artist. A comfortable chapel can be used for either funeral or memorial services. It is light and airy. There is a special area for children, as well as several rooms for friends and families to gather. Our goal is to offer you the most comfortable setting for a very difficult time in your life. Also located in Hellertown is our cremation facility--attached to our chapel for the utmost security.

If you would like more information, please contact us.
We are conveniently located on Main Street (Route 412) just 4 blocks south of the Interstate 78 interchange. In 2003, we completed a major renovation and expansion project that created a very spacious facility. Our theme features a Southern Magnolia flower because we are fortunate enough to have one of these special trees in the backyard of the Pennsburg funeral home. It is rare for this area, and it expresses our emphasis on comfort and hospitality. Our parking area is located in the rear of the building with an entrance from both Main Street and Washington Street.

Our Chapel

Our chapel is light and airy and decorated in soft colors. The space is flexible, allowing for large and small gatherings. The room can be set for traditional viewing services or for memorial services. Often, families choose to bring pictures or other mementos to personalize the setting. We can help you produce a video tribute that can be played throughout the calling period. We can also personalize musical selections to meet all tastes.

Selection Area

The selection area is designed with the latest in consumer research, creating a comfortable setting to select items such as urns, caskets, and vaults. The area is well lit and features displays of "quarter-cut" casket models, miniature vaults, and full size urns. The area is always accessible, even during services, for you to browse.  

We offer a wide range of cremation products including full size, medium size, and keepsake size urns; cremation jewelry, Comfort Cubs, Cremation Vaults, and Cremation Caskets. We can also special order products to meet your specific needs.

Our casket and vault display features modified caskets and miniature vaults to create a more comfortable selection area. Many of the products can be personalized with embroidery, changeable corners, and interior and exterior color choices.

Children's Area

Our children's area is available so that even our littlest guests feel welcome and comfortable. Featuring a table that is just the right size for them and toys, the area is just far enough away from the main chapel area to allow them to not have to "be quiet" yet close enough for them to see and hear all that is going on. Children understand best when they are a part of the overall process of grief and bereavement.

We have discovered that many parents are reluctant to bring children to services, fearing that they may misbehave. Our Children's area provides a convenient spot for the little ones to call their own.

Cremation Facilities in Hellertown, PA

Our cremation facility is uniquely situated directly attached to our chapel area. The facility is fully inside our main building, and is not a garage or other out-building. This gives us the flexibility of being able to offer families the option of watching or participated in the initial stages of the cremation process in a comfortable setting. You and your family are offered the most secure and exclusive cremation facility in the area.

Usually, the drapes are closed when guests arrive. The appearance is of any ordinary window. However, should someone wish to watch the initial stage, we only need to open the drapes, and the cremation area is viewable. In addition, the cremation area is available for inspection when the chapel is not in use.
