Panebaker Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center, Inc.

Panebaker Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center, Inc. has been a cornerstone of compassionate care in Hanover, Pennsylvania, since its establishment in 1954. The historic building at 311 Broadway, originally constructed as a private residence in 1853, was purchased by Paul W. and Geraldine P. Panebaker in 1953. Along with Mr. Panebaker's brother, they renovated the home into a funeral home that opened the following year. Over the decades, the business has been lovingly stewarded by dedicated families. After the Panebakers operated it until 1986, Craig and Renate Johnston owned and managed the funeral home for more than 20 years before transferring ownership to Michael and Kristin Newman. The strength of Panebaker Funeral Home has always been and continues to be the husband-and-wife team serving those who have suffered a loss, ensuring a supportive and personal approach to every family they serve.
