Ernst Funeral Home offers compassionate, personalized services to honor loved ones. With a commitment to dignity and respect, we guide families through every step, creating meaningful tributes that celebrate life.

Brothers, Mark and Mike Iles, seek to continue and enhance the philosophy of service and treatment of grieving families in their community, originally developed by their father, Charles W. Iles. Their personal involvement with their community keeps them sensitive to the unique needs of local families, and revenue from services purchased remains in their own community. Mark and Mike have sought to attract and retain the best funeral directors and embalmers in the industry. Their confidence and relationship with their staff allows funeral directors the decision making flexibility to adapt to customer needs. Mike and Mark believe the most valuable thing they own is their reputation. Every staff associate is expected and empowered to do anything it takes to serve our families well.

Hamilton's on Westown Parkway is our newest facility, completed in the summer of 2005. Noted for its beautiful rich interior with two stone fireplaces and plenty of natural light from the expansive windows, this unique location boasts several outdoor gardens which can be utilized by family and friends for memorial gatherings as well. The Fireside Reception Room, overlooking the west garden, is available to serve refreshments or a catered meal for family and friends. A buffet serving island and several counters offer convenience for both large and small groups, with the availability of a full kitchen nearby. This area of Hamilton’s can also be used – schedule permitting – by breakfast clubs and other community groups for meetings and programs. Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway is also the current location of Hamilton’s Academy of Grief & Loss’ expansive Grief Resource Library. In addition, if you are in need of a memorial keepsake or sympathy gift, be sure to stop in and visit our beautiful Memorial Gift Shop!
