Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, Barre, VT

We’re pleased to welcome the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home team to the Milestone Funeral Partners family!
Serving the Barre, VT community since 1908, the Whitcomb and Hooker names have been synonymous with compassion, care, and tradition. In their early days, during the 1930's, their firm served as Barre’s first dedicated funeral facility, marking a shift from home-based services to modern funeral homes. They even pioneered motorized hearses and today, are located at their Academy Street location, where their legacy of service spans generations.
We’re honored to join together to continue this proud history—caring for the families of Central Vermont, as they have for so many years.
