About Us
Our History
The Lantz Funeral Home, Inc. began with Carl A. Lantz when he moved his family from Mt. Pleasant, PA and settled into Uniontown, PA 1924. In 1928, during the Great Depression, he established the current funeral home located at 297 E. Main St, Uniontown, PA. Carl operated the business for 42 years, and in 1970, his daughter, Muriel E. Lantz Bailey went on to operate the business until 2010. Today her great-nephew, Aaron S. Lantz, and great-niece, Autumn Lantz, currently operate the funeral home.
Carl A. Lantz was a serious man who had a love for family and his work. He graduated from Eckels College in Philadelphia, PA. He was a 33rd degree Mason in the Prince Hall Lodge, choir director for many years at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church of Uniontown, PA; and he served his country in the US Marine Corps during WWI. He was known to wear tuxedo tails for his funeral services and also a derby.
Muriel E. Lantz is known to many as a charming, caring, and civic-minded business woman. She is a true humanitarian. She received her degree from Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science in Pittsburgh, PA. Muriel is a passionate community servant. She opened her chapel doors to house the Interfaith Assembly for Christ Church every Sunday until a new church was built at its current location. She sat on many boards to help support community efforts. Under her direction, she expanded the funeral home to accompany her growing business. This led to the ability to serve more families and her business flourished.
Aaron S. Lantz has been working as a licensed funeral director since 1995. He has been operating the Lantz Funeral Home since 2008. He is a 1993 graduate of the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. Aaron continues to work under the same principles that have made the funeral home successful for over 80 years. He strives to maintain the same family traditions (affordable and compassionate services) as his great-grandfather and great-aunt have done, even in today’s changing world. Under Aaron’s direction, the Uniontown funeral home underwent a complete renovation in 2011 that accommodates families in a warm and comfortable environment. Aaron is carrying on his family's tradition of assisting families during times of loss with understanding, compassion, personalized and affordable funeral care services.
Autumn L. Lantz, a licensed funeral director, has been with the funeral home since 2008. She is a graduate of the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and a Minor in Economics from California University of PA. She has also earned her Master's in Business (M.B.A.) from California University, with a specialty in healthcare management. Autumn brings a unique skill set to the funeral home with her attention to detail, creativity, and restoration skills. She carries on the Lantz tradition with care and compassion to all the families she serves.
