About Us

Our History

Spence Funeral Services has provided funeral, cremation, and preplanning services to the families of northwest Lancaster County and the surrounding areas, including Manheim, Lititz, Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, since 2005. After being employed as a funeral director by the former Frank S. Miller Funeral Home, Inc. in Elizabethtown for 11 years, Bill Spence and his wife, Brenda, decided to create a fresh, new kind of funeral business with a unique purpose - to provide excellent service to families while keeping costs affordable. Although Brenda is employed full time as the director of resident accounts at Masonic Village, she supports Spence Funeral Services and the families they serve by helping out at visitations and services.


Unlike traditional funeral services that have large buildings to maintain and many team members to support, Spence Funeral Services is able to provide a more affordable alternative by conducting visitations and services in churches, chapels, and other locations. They also use technology in creative ways to help achieve this goal. Offering to meet with individuals and families in the comfort of their homes is one of the many services they provide that sets Spence Funeral Services apart from others.

  • Lancaster County Funeral Directors Association
