Patrick Tabor

For Pat Tabor, owning his own funeral business has been an aspiration of his since graduating from Mortuary Science School.

Lupton and the surrounding communities since 1989. Pat and his wife, Christine, planted their roots in the Brighton community where they have happily raised their four children, Allison, Michael, Collin and Adam. Besides the demands of his busy family, Pat is an active member of St. Augustine Catholic Church, Brighton Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, and Knights of Columbus. He is also active with the Brighton DECA Program. “Our motto is, ‘our family helping your family,’” exclaims Tabor. “We promise to give genuinely, tender service and individualized choices.”
