Bauer Funeral And Cremation Services

Bauer-Hillis Funeral Home and Cremation Services, located in the heart of Rimersburg, Pennsylvania, has been a pillar of compassionate care for over a century. Founded in 1912 by Cember 'CB' Stewart, the funeral home originally stood across from its current location, on the site now occupied by Veterans Memorial Park. As community needs evolved, Mr. Stewart moved the home to 758 Main Street, where it has served families ever since. In 1953, James D. Miller and his wife Margaret took ownership, embodying a simple philosophy of 'offering a caring hand' for 27 years and expanding the facility with a north wing in 1961. Rimersburg native Richard D. Hillis purchased the business in 1980 and further renovated it in 2000, adding a new arrangement office and family center. Local funeral director Larry Bliss, who joined the team in 1993, earned his license in 1996 and continues to serve families today. In December 2010, Jack Bauer acquired the funeral home, uniting it with the respected Bauer family name to form Bauer-Hillis Funeral Home and Cremation Services. Today, this historic establishment remains dedicated to the same values of care and attention that have guided it for more than 100 years. As part of Bauer Funeral Home, the Rimersburg location offers a comprehensive range of services, including traditional funerals, cremation, memorial ceremonies, and graveside services. The facility is fully wheelchair accessible and provides on-site parking for convenience. Beyond funeral services, Bauer-Hillis also offers florist and monument-making services, helping families honor their loved ones in lasting ways. The staff works closely with each family to handle all logistics, paperwork, and coordination with cemeteries, clergy, and vendors. Pre-planning consultations are available to help individuals document their wishes, lock in current pricing, and relieve future burdens from loved ones. For immediate needs, compassionate assistance is provided promptly, often on the same day. Bauer-Hillis proudly serves Rimersburg and surrounding communities including Clarion, Butler, Chicora, and Cowansville. The funeral home hosts visitations and services at its Main Street location, and offers an online obituary platform where families can share memories, view tribute videos, and send condolences. With a legacy of integrity and heartfelt service, Bauer-Hillis Funeral Home and Cremation Services continues to be a trusted partner to families during life's most difficult moments.
