The Hole-Parker Funeral Chapel, Inc. was
founded by Walter Hole in 1912 and originally
sat upon property now occupied by the Village
Inn at 187 Central Avenue. The Home was
moved to its present location following World
War II.
Jack Parker came to work for the Hole
family in 1954 and took over the funeral home
in 1957. An addition to the facility followed
eight years later. Mr. Parker also purchased
the Philbrich Funeral Home in Forestville and
operated it for a number of years until it was
sold to the present owner.
In 1974, Peter T. Parker joined the firm after
receiving his license as a funeral director. He
became the licensed manager in 1984.
When Jack Parker semi-retired in 1994, his son
Pete took full control as President. Two years
later a 1200 square foot addition was
completed.
The Funeral Chapel, now over 90 years old,
has always been dedicated to help friends and
neighbors through the difficult time of losing a
loved one.
