This DeBaptiste Funeral Home has been serving the West Chester area since 1965. Clifford E. DeBaptiste, founder of the community-based funeral home and another in Bryn Mawr, was elected mayor of West Chester in 1993. The home itself offers a number of services for those who have passed, including green burials, dove releases and military honors. The home is right next door to Milestone Events, which can host any number of banquets or events.
