Galello-Luchansky Funeral & Cremation Services is over 50 years old. Founder, Bob Galello had been a part of the business for 36 years. Bob loved people, our hometown of Stratford, our friends, and his family. Bob also had a special place in his heart for the families he served during his lifetime, all of whom he considered family.
Most of all, Bob loved being a funeral director, and was so happy and proud to share his life's work with his nephew, Chris Pannese. Bob loved Chris, and was his mentor. Chris is here to serve the greater Stratford community with the same caring, professional, and appreciative ways that Bob adhered to throughout his career.

Planning for the end of life isn't something that appeals to most of us. We are understandably reluctant to think about death, and even more reluctant to talk about it with our loved ones. Planning ahead, however, can provide a sense of comfort and relief to all concerned. It can bring families together to make crucial decisions calmly and rationally.
Peace of mind is the primary benefit of pre-paying. Different family members might have very different views about what "proper and dignified" means and should cost. Especially for larger families, such concerns can cause harsh words and hurt feelings. Some of the questions that inevitably arise without pre-paying are: Who should pay for what?
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
