My travel range within my normal fees is a 50-mile radius from Greenville, which includes NW Pennsylvania and NE Ohio.  I will travel further, but additional fees will apply.

About Me

I started in the funeral business operating a small-town funeral home (which I eventually purchased) in my hometown of Greenville, PA.  My wife and I ran the business together while living upstairs where we raised our two sons, and staying very involved in our hometown community.  

Following the sale of our business, I decided to continue doing what I always enjoyed most, and what I was best at…the art and science of preparation, preservation, restoration, and sanitation of human remains, or as we commonly refer to, embalming.  At the end of 2024, Williams Trade Service LLC was born.  

I’ve always been a student of embalming, attending seminars and classes well beyond what’s required to maintain professional licensure, reading articles, and “talking shop” with other embalmers.

When I embalm at your funeral home, I take my time.  I want everything to be as perfect as possible, from the features to the color and texture of the skin.  I pride my work on being thorough, complete, and clean.  I do carry some of my favorite instruments and supplemental products but rely on the chemicals you keep on hand.

I would be honored to work at your funeral home, whether regularly, or from time to time as needed.
