The Thompson Funeral Home
was founded by the Thompson brothers, R. Glenn Thompson and Dean D.
Thompson in 1927. The original location was on West Jefferson Street. In
1933, the brothers purchased the Koch Family residence at the corner of
McKean and North Street. Following necessary renovation to accommodate a
home for funerals, it was dedicated to the "Glory of God" and
given to the Butler community to provide comfort and warmth at their
time of the loss of a loved one. The brothers divided their interest
when a funeral home was purchased in Vandergrift, PA. Dean Thompson
moved there to operate that business, while Glenn remained in Butler to
care for the business here.
In 1947, Glenn became the sole owner of
the Thompson Funeral Home. At that time surrounding properties were
purchased to provide parking for those visiting the funeral home.
Wilhelmina S. Thompson, widow of R. Glenn Thompson, died on July 28,
2000.
In 1963 Mr. Thompson invited his
son-in-law, Richard J. Miller to become a partner in the business. The
name then became Thompson-Miller Funeral Home. In 1973 the funeral home
became incorporated, which permanently entitled the business to be known
as the Thompson-Miller Funeral Home. Mr. & Mrs. Richard J. Miller's
picture is on the right.
Since 1975 many changes and renovations have
occurred to update the interior and exterior of the funeral home. Our
tradition of care and concern for the people of the Butler community at
the time of the death of a loved one continues to be our primary goal.
Our dedication to the "Glory of God" remains as our utmost
intent, as we serve hurting people with Time
Honored Excellence.
We sincerely believe our facility
provides the warm, professional and caring environment for your family
and loved ones.
