Hoffman Funeral Home and Crematory is a family-owned and operated funeral home that has been serving the central Pennsylvania community since 1907. The new facility was built in 2015 to accommodate modern technology and design. The large parking lot, spacious lobby and chapel, and fully accessible facility are some of the perks that come with choosing Hoffman Funeral Home and Crematory for your funeral needs. The full-service Hoffman Funeral Home and Crematory offers traditional funeral services, cremation, and non-traditional ceremony options. A typical funeral service may include a viewing before the actual funeral and the funeral can be followed by a burial service at the gravesite. The on-site crematory offers direct cremations, which are cremations without a ceremony. Or you can choose cremation with a funeral before the cremation or a memorial service after the cremation. For a casual, less-formal option, a life celebration may be the option for you. Life celebrations may include music, dancing, hobby displays, and a customizable program layout. You can purchase caskets, vaults, memorials, and urns. For options regarding Veteran Services or Military Honors, the funeral home can assist you with either. The funeral planning team knows that grief does not end the moment the funeral ends. Please ask about their grief resources and how they can help you connect with people who are also grieving the loss of a loved one. Hoffman Funeral Home and Crematory has been serving Carlisle, Mt Holly Springs, Shermans Dale, New Kingstown, Plainfield, Dickinson, Boiling Springs, Newville, Mechanicsburg, Loysville, and surrounding areas for over 100 years.

This morning, we celebrate the life of Vada Wetzel, 92, of Carlisle. Vada was not just a loving mother and grandmother, she was a strong-willed, independent woman who did things her own way to the very end. Vada was so creative. She was an accomplished seamstress and she made the best tasting, beautifully decorated wedding cakes. She thought outside the box; there wasn't a problem she couldn't solve or a task or craft she didn't master. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her!
