About Theo C. Auman Inc.
Theo C. Auman Inc. is a full-service funeral home in Reading, PA that operates as part of Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest corporate funeral home chain in the country — families who prefer a locally or independently owned provider may want to keep that in mind. Reviewers consistently highlight the compassion and patience of staff members, particularly directors Bianca and Rochelle, and the home appears well-suited to families coordinating arrangements from a distance, as at least one reviewer handled everything remotely by phone. The funeral home offers a range of services including traditional burial, pre-planning, and support for families navigating complex decisions, and their staff has drawn specific praise for guiding families through pre-arrangement planning in a way that feels collaborative rather than rushed. With a 5.0-star rating across 100 Google reviews, customer satisfaction appears consistently high, with no notable complaint patterns surfacing in the available feedback.

2 months agoYour gracious service extended to us during our time of need was so much appreciated, especially since I am in Virginia and had to transact business over the phone. I trusted you to provide quality service and it was much more than that. Thanks again, Patricia A. Wormley
★★★★★Derick Blessing
3 months agoThe staff were so wonderful. The respect, kindness, care and support they gave us was truly appreciated. They did such a wonderful job with our mother, she looked beautiful just like she was sleeping. The venue was beautiful and clean. My family thanks you all for everything you have done for us.
★★★★★Bob Care
3 months agoRochelle and Bianca were very compassionate, thorough and helpful during a very difficult time
★★★★★Michele
3 months agoOur mother, Mrs. Edith V. Bailey, passed away on 11/07/2025. Theo C. Auman Inc. Funeral Home made us feel at ease from the moment we walked in to plan arrangements. The atmosphere was one of serenity and peace. Bianca, our funeral director, was exceptional. She was patient, relatable, compassionate…
★★★★★Sue Ernst
10 months agoBianca helped me pre plan my mom’s services. I’m glad we did it - lots of decisions to be made and being an only child they would have been tough. Mom will get what she wants and I’m very comfortable knowing she was involved in the decision making.
