WHO WE ARE

About us

A Family History The Ferguson Funeral Home was founded by Andrew D. Ferguson Sr., in Uniontown, Pennsylvania more than 90 years ago. The newspaper described the senior Ferguson as being “a community leader and a truly caring professional.” In 1961, Andrew D. Ferguson Jr., took over the responsibilities of the funeral home and continued the tradition of friendly, caring service. In 1988, the third generation joined in, preparing for dramatically changing times in the funeral industry. The tradition carries on today as the Andrew D. Ferguson Funeral Home & Crematories, Inc., is a proud fifth-generation, family owned and operated business with locations in Uniontown and Smithfield.
