History

Established in 1878.

Mr. Oliver H. Bair started his business in 1878 at 41 North Eighteenth Street in Philadelphia. He gave to the public such superior service offered by the most modern and up-​to-​date establishments in the industry. He was immediately impressed with the great need existing for a service of a special and much more personal character, and of the great possibilities which existed for one who had the enterprise to carry it through.

After many, many years at 1820 Chestnut St. the company moved to 1920 Samson St. and then to the suburbs in Delaware County. We are presently located at 8500 West Chester Pike in Upper Darby, PA where we are able to conveniently serve all of our clients in Philadelphia as well as all of the surrounding suburbs.

Mr. John J. Monaghan purchased The Oliver H. Bair Co. in 2007. He and his family are dedicated to upholding the traditions and exquisite service provided by Oliver H. Bair when he was a practicing funeral director.
