The Tradition Of Wm. Murphy Funeral Home


William Andrew Hartzel	Frederick C. Murphy	William A. H. Murphy	William F. Murphy (Rick)

istory - The William Murphy Funeral Home, Inc. has been family owned and

independently operated since 1885. My great grandfather, William Andrew Hartzel, began his career in Zelienople with his father-in-law, Edwin Zehner, who was the owner of the Zehner Undertaking and Furniture Company. He moved to Rochester in 1885 and began his own business under the name of Hartzel Brothers Furniture and Undertaking Company. In 1918, my Grandfather, Frederick C. Murphy, who had married Amy O. Hartzel, joined the business. Their son and my father, William A.H. Murphy, joined the businesses in 1938 and I, William F. (Rick) Murphy in 1970. Through the years my family has perpetuated the business with the same service-oriented philosophy.

Our family and staff at Murphy's is here to provide a service for the families of Rochester and the surrounding communities. When called upon, our personnel are trained in various capacities to assist families with their specific needs during the most difficult time of their lives. We endeavor to provide our families with the same care and consideration we would extend to our own family.

   Our objective is to continue to serve our community with the dignity and ethics befitting our profession, while providing a comfortable home-like atmosphere during a stressful time, with our family serving yours.

   The funeral home presently employs twelve full and part time employees with three licensed directors: William F.( Rick) Murphy-President, William A. Murphy-Vice-President and John J. Siget Jr., F.D.

Why a Family-Owned Funeral Home is Better…

A Singular Focus
All of our attention is devoted to making our funeral home the best it can be in terms of satisfying the needs of our friends and neighbors. We are not distracted nor bound by corporate mandates. We're more flexible. More responsive to your needs.

Personal Pride
This is our business. You can be assured we take great personal pride in keeping our facility and our vehicles in top condition. We are also proud of our staff, and regularly pursue continuing education to maintain the highest level of professional services.

A Long-Term Commitment
It is very important to us to not only fill your current needs, but to build a relationship so you will return to us in the future. We have a long-term commitment to this community. When you need us, we'll be here.

A Focus of Families, Not Profits
Large corporations answer to shareholders. We answer to you. In our family-owned company, there is no pressure from the corporate headquarters to increase profits. We understand our business will do well when we serve you well.

A Knowledge of Local Customs
Funeral traditions vary greatly around the country. We have a fine appreciation of local customs and expectations. On the other hand, the staff and management assigned to a funeral home by a national company may be from another state or even country. And that can create a lack of awareness and sometimes disappointment when expectations are not met.

The Benefits of Choosing a Family-Owned and Operated Firm

As a family-owned and operated funeral firm, we believe we are better prepared to serve your family. There are many reasons why:

Personal pride
A focus on families, not profits
A knowledge of local customs
An investment in the community
