Originally purchased from Clair Wadding in 1956, the funeral home was lovingly operated by Frank and Sally Bly for 40 years before joining the Bauer family of funeral homes in 1996. The building underwent extensive remodeling in 1998, which added new rooms, updated furnishings, and enhanced exterior curb appeal. A sidewalk was constructed to connect to the new parking area, further improving accessibility for all visitors. Today, under the supervision of Joshua Chapman Starr, the funeral home continues the tradition of thoughtful, personalized care that has defined Bauer Funeral And Cremation Services for over 75 years.

As part of a family-owned network that includes locations in Kittanning, Elderton, and Rimersburg, Bauer-Bly Funeral Home benefits from the legacy of three generations of funeral directors.
