Fritz ensured the future of the fifth generation of continuous family-owned funeral service with his son, Richard C. “Rick”. Rick became president of the company in 1979. His efforts to extend Beinhauer’s services to other areas of town began in 1982, on the property that was originally purchased by his grandfather in 1946. Again as an industry leader, Beinhauer built the first specifically designed building for funeral service in Peters Township, Washington County, which has served the community for over 30 years. In 1996, the Beinhauer legacy continued as Rick’s son Scott became the sixth Beinhauer generation to serve the community, furthering a commitment to excellence that began over 152 years ago.
Today, the Beinhauer family serves five communities in the South Hills – Beinhauer-Connell in Bethel Park, Beinhauer-Bogan in Canonsburg, Beinhauer-Fryer in Bridgeville, and Beinhauers in Dormont and Peters Township. Our locations are family-friendly, providing children’s rooms, hospitality rooms where food and beverage can be served, and a community room where dinners, luncheons, and community events can be scheduled.
Beinhauer Funeral Homes can personalize services with options that other funeral homes don’t offer. Some of the special touches that we are able to provide are an interactive Web site, personalized DVD videos, and Webcasting and livestreaming of funerals, which can allow those with physical considerations or travel limitations the ability to attend a loved one’s funeral service over the Internet.
The Beinhauer family also owns and manages WOODRUFF MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY, located on Route 19 in North Strabane Township. The Community Mausoleum offers two levels of magnificent crypt entombment as well as extensive cremation niches, including bronze and beveled glass and a beautiful indoor chapel.
Adjacent to the human cemetery, PEACEFUL PASTURES provides a final resting place for pets of any kind, including the area’s only pet funeral and cremation center housing its own crematory.
