Welcome to Lutz Funeral Home, Inc., the trusted provider of funeral and cremation services to Berks County and the surrounding areas. With a long-standing history dating back to 1884, we have been dedicated to serving our community in a respectful and professional manner.
Our story began with John F. Lutz, a skilled cabinet maker who seamlessly transitioned into the funeral industry due to his expertise in crafting caskets. Originally located in Esterly, now known as St. Lawrence, our funeral home operated alongside John F.'s furniture store. The furniture business continued until the mid-sixties, while J. Elmer Lutz, Sr., John F.'s son, constructed our current facility in Mount Penn in 1931. Specifically designed to cater to the needs of funeral services, this distinctive building has been our home ever since.
