Stauffer Funeral Homes P.A.

Cheers to a new school year!

Talking about death is hard, but groups like Frederick Health Hospice, Frederick County Public Libraries and the Curious Iguana Bookstore are coming together to do just that.

Coined “The Bucket List Book Club”, this monthly meeting is open to anyone in the community. The book selections will allow for discussions that explore issues around death AND life.

Don’t have time to read the book, no problem…just show up and enjoy the lively discussions.

As you can tell by the title, this is not your usual book club! Each month on a Sunday afternoon, experts from Frederick Health Hospice will explore issues surrounding death AND life through a variety of books and other media. And no, you don’t have to read the titles to attend. Just come with an open mind and an interest in learning about how we live and how death affects us all. The discussion this month will involve themes related to Being Mortal by Atul Gawande.

Millions of Americans will find themselves in a caregiver position at some point. Whether caring for an aging parent, dying spouse, or family friend, caregiving is a tough job that requires support, setting limits, and more.

Because we all deserve to be remembered and celebrated.

Many funeral homes rely on an off-site partner to perform the cremation. We perform each cremation in our own on-site, newly renovated state-of-the-art crematory, complete with a private space nearby where families can choose to say their final goodbyes and be together at this sacred time.

Even though the world has become increasingly digital, we agree with AARP that “a handwritten expression of sympathy acknowledges the loss and shows how much you care.”

Here's a great local resource to help young adults who are grieving.

At Stauffer Funeral Homes, we care for local grieving families every day, so when it comes to living life to the fullest…we get it!

There’s a lot of talk about personalized service when it comes to funerals, but what does that mean? Over the years, we’ve honored those who’ve died in all sorts of ways from displaying personal and/or favorite items at the service to donation drives for favorite causes, catering with their favorite foods, take home gifts and so much more.

We had a great time last night supporting local children in need at the Soles of Love in the Garden event! 👟💕

A funeral home with deep roots in the community and relationships with local families and friends is best suited to help those who are grieving. That is why we are still family owned and operated, local, and continue to be dedicated to our community.
