Our History

Maher's Funeral Home Ltd. was established in 1974 by brothers Gerard and Greg Maher, during a time when the need for professional and courteous care for families and their loved ones began to develop. Over the years, they worked closely together and developed a dependable reputation for bringing comfort to those in grief at the most troubling time in life. Today, Maher's Funeral Home is owned and operated by their nephew Paul Maher, a fully licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. Paul is dedicated to continuing the tradition of providing respectful, comforting, reliable, and professional service to families in their time of need.
