About Dickinson Township, Pennsylvania
Dickinson Township is a rural community in south-central Cumberland County, home to roughly 5,300 residents and a scattering of small crossroads settlements such as Mooredale and Barnitz. The northern half of the township lies in the fertile Cumberland Valley, a landscape of working farms and open fields, while the southern half rises into South Mountain and the Michaux State Forest. The Yellow Breeches Creek, a limestone trout stream designated a Pennsylvania Scenic River, crosses the township and draws anglers from across the region.
The township sits between Carlisle to the north and Shippensburg to the west, with U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 running through the Cumberland Valley just to the north. South Mountain, the Michaux State Forest, and the Appalachian Trail give the southern end of the township its wooded, mountain character. Our funeral home at 333 Falling Spring Road in Chambersburg is about 25 minutes southwest, a straightforward drive down the valley.
Getting Here from Dickinson
Our chapel is about 25 minutes southwest of Dickinson Township at 333 Falling Spring Road in Chambersburg. Most families reach us by way of Interstate 81 south through the Cumberland Valley, passing Shippensburg before the Chambersburg exits, where Falling Spring Road is a short drive from the highway. Families on the southern, mountain side of the township sometimes take the quieter route along Walnut Bottom Road and Pennsylvania Route 233 through the edge of the Michaux State Forest. Parking is available on site.
If the drive is a hardship for your family, let us know when you call, and we will make the arrangements as convenient as possible.
