In 1950, Edward E. Bateman opened the Bateman Funeral Home at the intersection of Edgmont Avenue & Roland Road in Parkside, Pennsylvania to serve the needs of the residents in the surrounding community. In 1960, Edward, more commonly known as Ned, saw a need to expand his base of operations and moved his business to its present location in Brookhaven. In 1975, Ned’s son, Lee, became a licensed funeral director and joined the family business as an associate. In 1982, Lee became the owner and supervisor of the funeral home.
Continuing the Bateman family legacy, Lee’s daughter, Eve, joined her father to work in the funeral home in 2005 and became a licensed funeral director in 2011. Through three generations of Batemans— Ned, Lee, and Eve Bateman have guided residents of Brookhaven and the surrounding communities in honoring the lives of their loved ones. They have proven to treat the families in their care with honesty, dignity, and compassion.
In 2020, the Bateman family was pleased to welcome Charles S. Allen into their family business. Charles has been a licensed funeral director since 2010 and was born and raised in the Penn-Delco community. He and Eve will now be operating the Bateman-Allen Funeral Home, keeping the Bateman family tradition alive as an independently operated and family owned funeral establishment.
Under their leadership, you can expect the same exceptional service with dignity and compassion that you have received from the Bateman Family for the past 7 decades with an even stronger presence in the community. Charles and Eve take pride in their local ownership and are committed to being family-focused and community-driven. They strongly believe in being an active member of their community through participation at local events and charitable donations.

My father passed away in June and it was devastating. Processing our loss but also planning a funeral isn’t easy. We reached out to Bateman-Allen Funeral Home. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and answered every question. There are so many things that you don't think about and having a compassionate person to guide you through meant everything to us. Thank you Bateman-Allen Funeral Home.

I cannot thank Bateman-Allen enough that Charles' burial was such a wonderful experience. From the arrangements sent, to the casket shipped to Philadelphia, to the day he was buried at Gate of Heaven on the VA Lawn in Berlin, New Jersey, the staff ensured that every detail was perfect. The staff is attentive and caring and I highly recommend them. Thank you Charles and Eve for all you do to ease the sadness.

I cannot thank you enough for all you did for me and my family to ensure that Charles' burial was such a wonderful experience. The arrangements that you and the funeral home here in Florida worked on to ensure my husband's casket was shipped to Philadelphia was outstanding. From transporting his body from the airport, calling me when you picked him up, arranging the Navy Honor Guard for him, to the day he was buried at Gate of Heaven on the VA Lawn in Berlin, New Jersey, you and your staff ensured that every detail was perfect. My family has had prior experience with Bateman Funeral Home in the past years and the same attention to detail was always the same. You and your staff are attentive and caring and I highly recommend your funeral home. Thank you Charles and Staff for all you do to ease the sadness.

Charles went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and answered every question. There are so many things that you don't think about and having a caring, compassionate person to guide you through meant everything to me and my family.

Our family recently lost my brother-in-law. Charles made a very hard time much easier for our family. He was compassionate and patient yet very professional. He went above and beyond accommodating our every need. Words cannot express how grateful we are. We highly recommend Bateman-Allen Funeral Home to everyone.
