Thomas J Hughes Funeral Home, 1240 Saint Ann St, Scranton, PA 18504, US

HistoryIn 1898, the United States was at war with Spain, New York City's five boroughs were merged, neon was discovered, the first automobile was sold, and, while much less significant, M.J. McLaughlin began operating as an 'Undertaker' in Wilkes-Barre. He quickly became a leader in the profession and was known for providing first-class service to families who called upon him in their time of need. The original location was remodeled and expanded three times in the following decades to meet the demands of the growing business. During this time, innovations such as the first automobile hearse in the Wyoming Valley, were introduced to the public. His sons, Michael J. and Robert J., joined him as funeral directors and M.J. McLaughlin Company was incorporated in 1928. Soon thereafter, the first purpose-built funeral service facility in the area was opened (it remains our principle business location today).SpecialtiesFunerals as Unique as Your Life Life is full of opportunities to show someone we love them.
