Funeral Services for Boonsboro Families
Coffman Funeral Home has served families in Boonsboro, Maryland from our downtown Hagerstown location since 1898. The drive between Boonsboro and our office at 40 E Antietam Street takes approximately 18 minutes along U.S. 40 Alternate. Coffman is one of Boonsboro families' closest full-service funeral homes.
Boonsboro families who choose a traditional funeral typically hold a visitation at our Hagerstown chapel followed by a service and burial at a local cemetery. Graveside services — entirely at the cemetery, with no prior visitation — are a meaningful option for smaller family gatherings. Memorial services, held with or without the body present, are well-suited for families who prefer a less formal tone or who have chosen cremation. Direct burial is the simplest path, with interment occurring shortly after death.
Because of Boonsboro's proximity to the Antietam and South Mountain battlefields, veteran families are part of the community's fabric. We regularly coordinate veteran funeral honors for Boonsboro families, assisting with VA burial benefits, coordinating military honors through the appropriate service branch, and helping families complete government marker and headstone applications.
We also handle Jewish funeral services, coordinating with local rabbis on tahara, kriah, and shiva traditions. Pre-planning is available for Boonsboro families who want to record their wishes in advance.

About Boonsboro, Maryland
Boonsboro is an incorporated town in Washington County Maryland, nestled between South Mountain and Elk Ridge in the Middletown Valley. Founded in 1792 by brothers George and William Boone — cousins of the frontiersman Daniel Boone — the town grew along the historic National Road (now U.S. 40 Alternate). Roughly 3,700 residents live in the town today.
Boonsboro is steeped in Civil War history. The Battle of South Mountain, fought on September 14, 1862, took place in the ridges immediately surrounding the town, three days before the Battle of Antietam in nearby Sharpsburg. Just south of town, Washington Monument State Park preserves the first completed monument to George Washington, dedicated in 1827. Other notable local institutions include the Boonsboro Museum of History and the Inn BoonsBoro.
Boonsboro is served by Washington County Public Schools and is home to Boonsboro High School and Boonsboro Middle School. The town is located about 12 miles southeast of downtown Hagerstown via U.S. 40 Alternate, and Coffman Funeral Home at 40 E Antietam Street is approximately an 18-minute drive.
