Our
family is here to help you
Joseph H. Lambert was born and raised in Parkersburg along with several
brothers and sisters. They grew up in a christian home with biblical
principals and learned the value of hard work at a very young age. Joe
began his career in funeral service while still a teen and developed
a heart for serving people. He worked in the funeral business for many
years until other business ventures took him away for a time, but he
carried in his heart a dream of one day operating his own funeral home
in his hometown of Parkersburg.
In 1990 when property became available on Green Street in downtown Parkersburg
and it seemed that Joe's dream would finally become a reality. After
months of dedicated and hard work, it was exciting for Joe and his family
to see plans come together and a building start to take form.
The business
was a family venture from it's inception. Joe and his wife Wilma Howard
Lambert were joined by their nephew, Steven L. Tatman, a licensed funeral
director in opening the first Lambert-Tatman Funeral in November 1990.
Joe and Wilma's son H. Brent Lambert and Joe's brother Thomas Lambert
joined to make the origional staff of Lambert - Tatman Funeral Home.
The family
continues to be part of the operation of the business, ready to help
your family in its time of need.
