Quality Service Since 1959

Back in 1959, when Robert T. Foard, Sr. was a funeral director of the Pippin Funeral Home in Elkton, he and the funeral home owner decided to convert the Foard Brothers Hardware Store into a full-service funeral home, serving the families of Chesapeake City.

Robert Sr., went out on his own in Chesapeake City in 1968. In 1970, he purchased Reed Funeral Home in Rising Sun, Maryland, which is the current location of the R.T. Foard Funeral Home on 111 South Queen Street. In 1979, his son, Robert, Jr. decided to join the family firm and in 1985 they bought McMullen Funeral Home, and transferred the business to the 111 South Queen Street location.

The company expanded to bring its services to more families in 1990, when Robert, Jr., purchased another funeral home from Robert T. Jones in Newark, Delaware. Then, he opened a banquet facility out of the Rising Sun location, so families in the area can have a special meal or reception together after the service. Most recently, an on-site crematory was added in 2003 to better accommodate those families that prefer cremation.

Today, the Foards operate three locations and maintain a proud tradition of service to the people of Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
