Snyder Bean Funeral Home & Crematory

Snyder Bean Funeral Home & Crematory, located at 890 Isabel Drive in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, is a premier provider of compassionate funeral and cremation services serving Lebanon County and the surrounding central Pennsylvania communities. The funeral home was established in 2025 as a merger of two deeply respected local funeral families—Charles F. Snyder Funeral Homes & Crematory of Lancaster County and Bean Funeral Homes & Crematory of Berks County—under the leadership of Charles F. “Chad” Snyder III and Kevin M. Bean. This partnership combines over five decades of combined experience and a shared commitment to dignified, personalized care. The facility itself was originally built in 2010 as the Porterfield-Scheid Funeral Home, operated for many years by veteran funeral director Jim Porterfield, who served the Lebanon community for over 50 years. Snyder Bean Funeral Home & Crematory honors all prearrangements previously made under Mr. Porterfield’s stewardship, ensuring continuity and trust for families.

The funeral home is a modern, single-level, ADA-compliant facility designed with comfort and accessibility in mind. It features a spacious chapel that can accommodate services of various sizes, a flexible layout, a large parking lot—one of the largest in the area—and an on-site crematory. This on-site crematory is a standout feature, providing families with the peace of mind that their loved one never leaves the care of the staff. Services offered include traditional funerals, personalized visitations and ceremonies, certified celebrant services, bilingual services (Spanish-speaking funeral director Luis Osorio is on staff), veteran funeral benefits assistance, direct cremation, full memorial services, and a wide selection of urns and keepsake jewelry. The facility also offers on-site refrigeration as an alternative to embalming and a transparent cremation process, including the option to witness the cremation.

Preplanning is a key focus, with affordable prepaid funeral plans starting as low as $30 per month, guaranteed acceptance regardless of age or health, and coverage up to $30,000 with cash value growth. Medicaid-compliant irrevocable options are available, and free consultations can be done at home or in the office. The funeral home also offers tribute videos, monument markers, travel protection plans, and a subscription for a year of weekly grief support messages. Snyder Bean Funeral Home & Crematory is conveniently located near many local cemeteries, including Holy Cross Cemetery, Grand View Memorial Park, and Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, making it an ideal choice for families honoring veterans. The dedicated staff—including Chad Snyder, Kevin Bean, Katelynn E. Fetter (supervisor), and Luis Osorio—are committed to serving families of all faiths and backgrounds with dignity, respect, and personalized attention.
