Wetzler Funeral Services

Since 1895, and for 4 generations, Wetzler Funeral Service in Bellefonte has been serving the Centre County Area. We began in 1895 as a grocer and general store in Milesburg under the ownership of Frank Wetzler. When a family needed a coffin and a wagon to take their deceased loved one to the cemetery they called the general store or local cabinetmaker for these services, and soon these grew to become funeral parlors. Eventually, the funeral home in Bellefonte opened in 1963 and since that time, we have added many new services to the Centre County Area

The funeral home is a member of the Selected Independent Funeral Homes of America, an invitation only group of funeral homes that are strictly monitored for their ethics and service to the families they serve. The funeral home does not use an answering service; the telephones are manned 24 hours a day by one of the staff members. We feel that when a death occurs, the family wants to talk to a funeral director immediately and not to an operator. We have always done this and will continue to. For over 100 years we have been there for our community's families and we hope to continue this tradition for many years.
