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.
