Celebrating Lives,
Preserving Memories
t’s easy to drive past any of the Beinhauer Funeral Homes
in the area and assume that all they deal in are end of life
services. However, since their founding, the Beinhauer
Family Funeral Homes have been dedicated not only to
providing full-service funerals, cremations and cemetery
services, but to local charities, veterans’ groups and ongoing
relief efforts as well.
Through these efforts for the living, Beinhauer Family Funeral
Homes can better serve those we’ve lost.
“There’s a lot that goes on here beyond funerals,” said Scott
Beinhauer. “Yes, we have our onsite crematory in our Dormont
location with state-of-the-art technology and the ability for
families to witness cremations in an aesthetically pleasing
environment. We have Woodruff Memorial Park Cemetery
and our Peaceful Pastures pet cemetery, but we also have our
Beinhauer Foundation which donates annually to local charities.”
Some of the work the Beinhauer Foundation not only
involves monetary donations to needy causes, it also steps in
to help people in times of need. A recent example of this is
Beinhauer’s care of a local family, after the young mother’s body
had rejected her new kidney after a kidney transplant. She is
back on the transplant waiting list, but Beinhauer’s has been
raising money for the family’ medical expenses in the meantime.
Veterans and veterans’ groups are also a high priority for the
Beinhauer Family. Both Rick and Scott Beinhauer are U.S. Army
Veterans. As members of the Veterans & Family Memorial Care
Association, Beinhauer Family Funeral Homes can help families
of veterans navigate the red tape and ensure their loved ones
receive all honors and accolades they deserve at their funeral
service.
By being a Veterans & Family Memorial Care provider,
Beinhauer’s can help you take advantage of the VFMC free
burial registration program. The program also offers a 10
percent discount to veterans and their spouses for funeral and
cremation pre-arrangements. Beinhauer’s also process federal-,
state -, and county benefits applications at no cost to your
family.
Going a step further, Beinhauer’s also supports programs
such as Stockings for Soldiers, a Christmas program through
which stockings are distributed to members of the community
between October 1 and December 1, and are filled with
donations that can be used by military personnel deployed
abroad. Last year, Beinhauer’s shipped close to 1,000 stockings
overseas to various service members. Stockings also are
distributed to local veterans’ hospitals and to National Guard
members.
These efforts demonstrate that Beinhauer Family Funeral
Homes isn’t just a service provider, but a staple of the
community, going above and beyond every day. The Beinhauer
Family has been serving the community since 1860 for six
generations. Few businesses can claim such history, and few
have accomplished so much generation after generation.
