Funeral and Cremation Services for Williamsport Families
Andrew K. Coffman Funeral Home has served Washington County families since 1898, Williamsport included. We arrange traditional funeral services that include visitation, a funeral service, and burial, along with graveside and committal services for families who prefer a smaller, more intimate gathering at the cemetery.

Every traditional funeral service can be personalized with photographs, favorite music, and the stories that made your loved one who they were. Our life celebrants are available to lead a meaningful, non-religious tribute for families who do not wish to work with clergy. We also support pre-planning, veterans services, and grief support, including GriefSteps and resources for children coping with loss, so a Williamsport family never has to face these decisions alone.
Why Williamsport Families Choose Andrew K. Coffman Funeral Home
Andrew K. Coffman Funeral Home has served Washington County continuously under one firm name since 1898. Today the funeral home is led by Ryan Berger, CFSP, who has more than 30 years of experience in the funeral profession and is licensed in both Maryland and Pennsylvania. Families in our reviews describe a director-answered, personal style of service, meaning Ryan and our staff, not a call center, are the ones who answer the phone and walk beside you.
Our building in downtown Hagerstown offers abundant off-street parking, a small detail that matters a great deal on the day of a visitation or service. We also keep life celebrants on staff for families who want a meaningful, personalized tribute without a traditional religious service, and we arrange Green Burial as an eco-conscious alternative in partnership with Green Burial Council-certified cemeteries. Families in our reviews have also noted the flexibility of payment plans while working through arrangements.
Honoring Veterans and Personalizing Every Service
Many Williamsport families have a parent, spouse, or grandparent who served in the armed forces, and we are honored to help arrange veterans services that reflect that service with dignity, including coordination of military honors as part of a funeral or graveside service. Because every family and every life is different, we do not offer a single standard package. Instead, we work with you to build a service, whether traditional or cremation-based, around the person you are honoring: their faith, their community ties, their hobbies, and the people who loved them. A life celebrant on our staff can help shape a ceremony that feels true to your loved one even when a formal religious service is not the right fit.
