History
Established in 1879 in Mozart, PA the funeral home was originated by James Conard, a cabinet maker by trade, Mr. Conard manufactured the caskets at the funeral home. Mr. Conard was joined by Albert S. Worthington in 1898 who eventually purchased the firm making it the A. S. Worthington Funeral Home. The business was relocated when the Wycombe facility was built in 1905 for a cost of $3300.00.

William C. Varcoe joined the firm as an employee in 1933, eventually purchasing the business when Mr. Worthington died in 1942, changing the name to the William C. Varcoe Funeral Home. In 1962 William's son Wilson G. Varcoe opened the Doylestown Facility where the business is currently located today. In 2001 Francis and Mary Monahan Thomas purchased the business and facility, continuing the tradition of the family owned funeral home as the fifth generation of funeral directors to serve the Central Bucks County community. Although there have been many changes over the past five generations, one principle remains consistent, our commitment to the families that we serve.
