Centuries of service. A lifetime of caring.
"At first, it was a cabinet shop, and, like many furniture makers in 1841, Philip Sharer also made caskets. Gradually he expanded into a more complete service for the families of Alliance, founded on a simple philosophy: to go beyond what families expect and create meaningful memories during their time of planning and preparation. As Philip put it, he wished to offer help and comfort with dignity, understanding and friendship.

Over 165 years later, that heritage is preserved in our five-star reputation and personalized attention to detail. Our entire staff shares my commitment to continue the funeral home’s long tradition of service, comfort, and friendship to families during their time of sorrow.

Throughout the years, we have been privileged with numerous honors and awards from the community, local organizations and funeral service organizations. Although we are proud of these accomplishments, no honor is as great as the confidence each family places with us in caring for their loved one.

Looking ahead, we will continue our devotion to the families who have trusted our service and compassionate attention for well over a century and a half. Please feel free to call on us at anytime. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
