Our History
Our family has been providing the people of the Indian Creek Valley and the Laurel Highlands with funeral needs since the 1860’s. Throughout the years funeral service has changed and the Brooks Funeral Home has changed with the times. We remain dedicated to the families we have served and will remain dedicated to the families we serve in the future.
