The Thomas Funeral Home, P.A. in Cambridge was started in 1936 by the late Kenneth R. and Margaret J. Thomas. Since 1941 the business has been located at the present location of 700 Locust Street. Since Mr. & Mrs. Thomas passed away the business has been owned and operated by their sons, Kenneth R. Thomas, Jr. and John W. Thomas In July of 2003, Kenny Jr. retired from day to day operations and John became owner of the business.
During the years, as the business grew, a number of additions have taken place. In 1957 the property at 702 Locust Street was purchased and in 1962 the casket showroom was moved to the first floor of that location. In 1968 the front porch of the building was closed in and the following year a 10,000 square foot addition was built at the rear of the building for additional seating and visitation space.
