J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home, Inc

J.S. Burkholder Funeral Home, Inc. operates from its location at 1601 Hamilton Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The business underwent a significant ownership transition in December 2012 when Michael A. Weber, fourth-generation operator and Chairman Emeritus after 42 years of service, sold the funeral home to Carl F. Schmoyer III as his hand-picked successor. Schmoyer brought fifth-generation funeral directing experience from his family's Carl Schmoyer Funeral Home, originally founded in Breinigsville in 1870 by his great-great-grandfather Daniel Schmoyer. The current leadership structure includes Carl F. Schmoyer III as Owner-President and Matthew G. Brand as Executive Vice President/Supervisor, who joined the Burkholder staff in 1990 and progressed through roles as Assistant Manager (1998), General Manager (2018), and Supervisor (2019).
