Our tradition began in 1965 when Gordon B. Garrett purchased the E.A. Peterson Funeral Home. A 1953 graduate of the Pennsylvania Institute of Mortuary Science, Mr. Garrett finished his two-year internship with the George Cunningham Funeral Home of West Middlesex, PA before relocating to Titusville in the winter of 1956. He was employed by Mr. Peterson until the latter’s death at which time he and his wife Marcia purchased the business. 

For nearly fifty years, the Garrett Funeral Home has treated its clients with care and respect, and in turn has been honored by several professional organizations. In 1968, the business was honored by an invitation to join the National Selected Morticians Association, the members of which are held to the highest professional standards. We continue to be members of NSM (now called Selected Independent Funeral Homes), the National Funeral Directors Association, the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association, and the Titusville Chamber of Commerce.
