As owner of Magner Livery, Mr. Magner assisted local funeral directors for several years prior to opening his own funeral business.

Magner Funeral Home are so professional but also intensely caring in a personal way -
taking the time to help ease your loss at such a difficult time.
My aunt and uncle both pre-arranged their funerals because they trusted in Magner Funeral Home Director, Jay Magner to care for their final wishes. He did so beautifully and was exceptional in handling all the details.
Both Jay and the entire staff are wonderful in helping to alleviate any anxiety and stress and provide the best service possible.
They are by far the best in the services that they provide and in the caring that they have for their

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! I wish there was a selection for zero stars. I regret selecting this funeral home and this experience has made me even more depressed during this emotional time in my life. Despite COVID not allowing for traditional services our family was expecting a final photo of our deceased loved one but instead we received the most horrifying and disgraceful final photo. I cannot believe that a funeral home that is supposed to have compassion and empathy during times of grief would send such a photo. We were told that we would have a final photo of our loved one in the casket

It was a pleasure working with Michael Magner to initiate and plan all details for my mom's funeral. Although I felt awkward planning ahead, while my mom was still living, Michael's professionalism and good nature allowed for comfortable conversation while developing the necessary course of action. Michael went so far as to help secure a wonderful resource to create my mom's headstone and worked well within my budget to secure a handsome casket. The Magner Family was dedicated to customer service and, even when conversing by phone, presented genuine concern and kindess. They went so far as to find

My wife died at Regional Hospice after a 10 day stay, 4 months after being diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. At her request there was no funeral or burial. Rather she was cremated & her ashes returned to me. The people at Magner were totally understanding, sympathetic & acceded to my requests. They picked her body up in Danbury, had her cremated & returned her ashes along with death certificates & other necessary paperwork to me in a timely manner. This was a seamless process at a difficult time for me. The several people I dealt with were so very nice & compassionate. I highly recommend Magner

Our family has trusted Magner Funeral Home through three generations. The service has always been professional, courteous, and caring. Recently, Magner managed my brother's open casket viewing, his funeral, and the graveside service, all in a very dignified manner. They honored who he was. Melissa and Will were always available to answer questions, make suggestions, and address our concerns in every way possible. And they are very nice people, besides. Highly recommended for integrity, competence and service.

The people at Magner Funeral home couldn't have been more respectful of my mother and our family. From the two people who came to my home to each person who was with us during the process, I couldn't ask for a more dignified treatment of my beloved mother. Sal, who handled most of the arrangements, was extremely polite and professional. He managed to capture my mother's beauty, elegance and style. He showed genuine yet humble pride when I commented on this fact. He made me feel really good about choosing Magner and I thank him and the staff for helping bring Mom to the dignified end she deserved
