The Bekavac Family traces its roots in the funeral business to 1927, when Tony Bekavac began working at the funeral home he eventually owned at 555 Fifth Street, Clairton, PA. Starting as a car washer, Tony, with his great personality, made it a point to focus his whole attention to being of service to the families of the Clairton area. In 1960, he erected what is the third structure at the address; a modern, single floor mortuary located directly across from Clairton High School. Upon Tony's untimely death in 1965, his widow, Patty Bekavac, completed the construction program her husband initiated. Now under the ownership of Tony's youngest son Daniel, the current structure can accommodate four families simultaneously, and features a chapel with seating for 85 and on site parking. More than forty years later, our Clairton location has seen renovations and changes, but has always been and will continue to be a part of this community.


In 1972, Paul E. Bekavac, eldest son of Tony, purchased his funeral home business at 221 Second Street, Elizabeth, PA. Applying the same principles of personalized service, Paul's business outgrew the facility and in 1990, he built a totally new, much larger facility. Featuring large viewing rooms, spacious lounge areas and a large chapel, the current facility also has parking lots that can accommodate over sixty vehicles. Conveniently located at the Route 51 interchange in Elizabeth Boro, the funeral home is easily accessed by the Mon Valley and South Allegheny County region.

In 1986, Daniel purchased our third location from Steve Pavlic. Located along Route 48 in Versailles Boro, midway between McKeesport and Elizabeth Township, the current facility has been expanded and now, as are the other Bekavac Funeral Homes, is completely handicap accessible. Recent renovations and updates have updated the exterior and interior, have increased comforts and amenities for our families, and have expanded the adjacent parking lot to over seventy spaces.

As the Bekavac Family has expanded its service areas and enters its third generation of service with Paul's son, Tony and Dan's son Dan Jr., one thing has remained consistent since 1927 - our family members have on a twenty four hour, seven day a week basis, been there to serve your family at a time of need. We are strongly committed to preserve our past, present and future.
