Burns Funeral Home was founded in 1939 by Martin J. Burns, Sr., who initially worked as an ice and coal delivery man before entering funeral service. Martin's wife, Grace McNeill, also earned her funeral director's license to work alongside him. The original location opened at 1428 E. Columbia Avenue in Philadelphia.
In 1957, Martin and Grace converted their home in the Torresdale section of Philadelphia into a second funeral home location. The family expanded again in the late 1980s with a third location in Levittown. Martin built trust in the community through his daily visits to local homes during his ice and coal delivery days, which helped establish the funeral home's reputation.
The funeral home offers live streaming services for families who cannot attend in person. Burns Funeral Home operates multiple locations to serve families throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania communities.
