Top 10 Reasons to Choose the Humphrey Family

We are a locally owned and family-operated funeral home in Pottsville, PA. For nearly four decades, we have stood beside Schuylkill County families with compassion, dignity, and personal care. When you call us, you are cared for by members of our own family — not a corporate chain.
Our strongest advertisement has always been the recommendations of the families we have served. Generations of families continue to place their trust in us because of our understanding, attention to detail, and the quality of our funeral and cremation services.
We take every commitment personally. Our knowledgeable and caring staff handles every detail — no matter how small — to ensure your loved one is honored in a meaningful and respectful way.
1. Your Family Is Our #1 Priority
The families we serve are always our first concern. We understand that during a time of loss, there are many important details that must be handled properly and promptly. Our experienced staff works efficiently and within a reasonable timeframe to ensure nothing is overlooked (Ex. Pre-Need Transfers, Social Security Benefits, Veteran Benefits, Death Certificates, Pre-Need Assignments, and much more).
2. Personal Service — Always a Humphrey
When you make arrangements with us, you will work directly with a member of the Humphrey family — not a rotating staff of outside funeral directors. From the first phone call through the completion of services, a Humphrey will personally guide you through every detail. This ensures consistency, accountability, and the highest level of care.
3. Quality Over Quantity
For us, the quality of service is always more important than the quantity of services we provide. Every family is treated with the same level of care, respect, and attention — regardless of the type of service selected, financial considerations, religious traditions, or personal beliefs
