Our History

Bond Funeral Home was founded in 1923 by Romine R. Bond—a commitment to compassionate service that has continued for more than 100 years. In 1929, Bond moved the funeral home into the stately Westinghouse Mansion, originally built in 1887 by George Westinghouse as a gift for his mother. Though she never lived in the home, its craftsmanship and character became a defining part of the Bond Funeral Home legacy.

Over the decades, the mansion passed through several owners before becoming the permanent home of Bond Funeral Home. A chapel was added in 1958, and the building’s design evolved to support the growing needs of the community. In the late 1970s, renovations included siding updates, covered drive access, and greenhouse closure.

In 1999, a significant fire destroyed the top two floors of the home. A full restoration followed, completed in 2001, returning the mansion’s iconic gingerbread detailing and historic charm while adding modern updates such as handicap accessibility.

Throughout its long history, Bond Funeral Home has remained dedicated to providing compassionate care, maintaining the beauty of its historic facility, and serving generations of families with dignity and respect.
