Three Generations of Licensed Funeral Directors - Cremation, Burial, PrePlanning & Monument Services
Established in 1893 by Arthur W. Walters, the funeral home has served area families continuously since that time.
In 1928, Bradford S. Parker became affiliated with A.W. Walters & Co. Mr. Parker purchased the business from Arthur Walters and later formed a partnership with G. Harold Holmes and they moved to the present location at 180 Hillside Avenue in Berlin.
Bertrand E. Bryant of Colebrook, NH purchased the business in 1966. Bert, along with his wife Beverly operated the business for many years following.
In 1978, the Gorham location was constructed at 1 Promenade Street. Bert's son B. Edward Bryant became affiliated with the funeral home in 1981. In 1995, Ed and his wife Laurie became the owners of the business, with it remaining as a local family owned and operated funeral home.
In 2015, the Bryant's opened an on-site crematorium at their Berlin funeral home to further serve families. As more families are turning to cremation as a means of disposition, the Bryant's decided to open an onsite crematory. By doing so, families know that their loved one never leaves our care. From the first call to the conclusion of services, we oversee the process every step of the way, ensuring the utmost level of care that has been entrusted to us.
In 2016, Ed and Laurie were joined by their son David following his graduation from FINE Mortuary College, representing the third generation of Bryant family funeral directors.
As a funeral home that has held the community’s trust for many years, our staff is here to serve the families of Berlin, Gorham and the surrounding communities with the utmost care and compassion along with the finest of service.
