"Brooks Funeral Home, Inc. has been serving the Fay-West area since the early 1850's with service exceeding all expectations for over 160 years of continuous service.
Henry Felgar began a preservation process in the 1850's and also began to manufacture coffins. His grandson Samuel Clymer Brooks began embalming, as we know it today. Shortly after this time, the son of Samuel Clymer Brooks, the late Clyde Beal Brooks, established one of the first funeral homes in the area located in the heart of the Indian Creek Valley.
Finding the need to expand the business, the firm opened a funeral home in Connellsville, which was run by Clyde B. Brooks and his daughter, Jeanne Brooks King.
In 1958 Samuel Clyde Brooks, son of the late Clyde B. Brooks, joined the firm. Today Samuel C. Brooks, serves as president of the corporation. Under the direction of Samuel C. Brooks, the business has grown into the modern-day funeral homes, as we know them.
In 1986 the Brooks Funeral Home, Inc expanded into Mt. Pleasant in order to provide complete funeral service for the people of Mt. Pleasant."
