Experience the Difference

We invite you to discover who has made J S Burkholder Funeral Home Inc the ultimate provider of creating healing experiences in the community. This section contains the heritage, vision, and the people behind J S Burkholder Funeral Home Inc's reputation of quality, sincerity, and trust.

Since 1895, six generations of funeral directors at the J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home have been serving families of the Lehigh Valley in their time of need. Our family has developed a tradition of caring by assisting the community with funeral services and by helping people to prearrange their own funeral services.

We appreciate the trust that has been placed in us. It is the policy of Burkholder's never to refuse services based on the ability to pay. Additionally, we feel that no one should go into debt for a funeral service. It is our welcomed responsibility to assist you in making an intelligent and reasonable decision.

A funeral is a meaningful event; and one that, properly planned, can help ease the pain of separation. It allows family and friends to join together with one voice to give thanks for a life well lived and to take the first step into a new life.
