A Personal Message from John Taylor

A New Era

As of April 1, 2025 Katlyn (Taylor) Taueetia is now the proud owner of Coleman-Taylor Funeral Services, a family-owned funeral home in Cecil, Pennsylvania that has been serving Washington and Allegheny County families since 1936! This transition will not only continue the legacy that the Coleman Family and I have built over the past 89 years, but also bring a fresh perspective, ensuring that we continue to provide the personalized and compassionate care that our families expect and deserve.

Katlyn's journey with the funeral home began in 2007.

A licensed cosmetologist with a degree in Business Administration from Penn State, she earned her Funeral Director credentials from the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science and obtained her Pennsylvania State License in 2022. She currently serves as Vice President of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association.

This is such a meaningful moment for me; to see my daughter continue with our commitment to service in our community. Katlyn has shown a passion for serving others her whole life; she has dedicated 20 years and countless hours to her cosmetology career, where she makes people look and feel their best, which has transitioned seamlessly to her funeral service career as an excellent Embalmer. I see the unwavering dedication, meticulous attention to detail and how she strives for perfection for each family she serves. Every family deserves to have the care, dignity and respect that Katlyn brings to the table.

As we move forward (and yes, I will still be around!), we are excited to continue fostering relationships within Cecil Township and beyond, offering a safe, compassionate, and welcoming environment to all families.

As large corporations enter the industry, we remain locally owned and community focused. We are excited for this new chapter, full of growth, love and service.

Thank you for continuing to trust us with life's most tender moments.
