About
For over 250 years Bucktrout of Williamsburg has brought dignity and compassionate care to bereaved families in the Williamsburg area. It was founded in 1759 by colonial cabinetmaker Anthony Hay, and turned over to Benjamin Bucktrout in the late 1700s. Horatio Bucktrout, son of Benjamin, was entrusted to care for the soldiers fatally wounded in the Civil War. As one of the oldest businesses in Williamsburg, Bucktrout continues to be an integral part of the community. More recently, Bucktrout became the first funeral home in Williamsburg to add a crematory.
In returning to its roots of being a family-owned business, Bucktrout brings a new tradition to an old heritage. Dedicated to personal attention, the professionals at Bucktrout know that the most important parts of funeral planning are understanding and care. We invite you to combine our services with your own ideas to create a memorable tribute to your loved one. Whether it’s careful pre-planning, or perfoming immediate services for an unexpected death, your empathetic friends at Bucktrout Funeral Home and Crematory respond with the courtesy and compassion that has instilled confidence in the Williamsburg community for more than two centuries.
