Stauffer Funeral Homes

We planned to reach beyond Walkersville and offer the same caring, compassionate service to families in the surrounding areas. Our concept of "full service" included providing families with every possible comfort in the funeral home, and helping them make arrangements that would pay tribute to their loved ones in ways that would preserve cherished memories and create new ones. We worked steadily toward this important goal by opening our Frederick location in 1975. This facility was the first local funeral home designed as a business, not as a residence that was converted. Then in 1980, we acquired the M.L. Creager Funeral Home in Thurmont, and purchased a landmark home on Ridgeville Boulevard in Mt. Airy, where we remodeled it into a spacious, comfortable facility. In March 2002, we constructed a private on-site crematory at the Opossumtown Pike Chapel, to more completely serve families who choose this honored form of final disposition. Our most recent addition, our brand new Brunswick facility, was built and ready to serve the community in September 2003.
