The Kilcline Funeral Home was established in 1929 by Bernard
A. Kilcline. In the early days, embalming was performed, and
wakes and funerals were held in the deceased's home. The first
location of the funeral home was a simple store front at 202
North Main Street , just north of St. Charles Church Rectory.
