Upon James’ death in 1957, his son, Eugene C. Coleman assumed the business, having been licensed just the previous year. For 52 years he served as Cecil Township’s one and only Funeral Director. In addition to his responsibilities at the Funeral Home, Eugene also provided fire department dispatching and ambulance service, including the first EMTs in Washington County. This valuable service continued under Eugene’s management for 19 years. In 1975 he initiated the creation of the Cecil Area Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

John W. Taylor purchased the Eugene C. Coleman Funeral Home in 2007, and the new business became Coleman – Taylor Funeral Services.

While the business has grown with John’s introduction of technology, he remains committed to the Coleman family tradition of compassionately supporting the families he serves.
