Caring for Families in the Alle Kiski Area Since 1938

welcome to

Duster Funeral Home

At Duster Funeral Home, we consider it a privilege to serve the families of our community during some of life's most meaningful moments. We are honored to help families celebrate the unique life of a loved one, preserving their memories and sharing their legacy with those whose lives they touched. Every service we create is personalized to reflect the individual, their story, and the lasting impact they made on family, friends, and the community.


For generations, compassion, integrity, and exceptional care have guided everything we do. Whether you are planning ahead or making arrangements for a loved one, our dedicated team is here to provide support, guidance, and understanding every step of the way. We are proud to help families create meaningful tributes that honor a life well lived and bring people together in remembrance and celebration.


Duster Funeral Home was founded in West Tarentum in 1938 by the late Albert H. Duster, Sr. In 1954, the funeral home relocated to its current location and was completely remodeled in 2003. Continuing the vision established by their father, J. Rodney and R. Gary Duster have proudly carried on the family tradition of serving the community with compassion, dignity, and heartfelt care. For more than eight decades, we have been honored to help our neighbors celebrate lives, cherish memories, and find comfort in the support of their community.
