During his tenure he has made many improvements to the facility including off street parking, handicapped bathrooms and ramp, and has made the facility and business a benchmark in the Village of Falconer.Currently, the funeral home serves many communities in the surrounding area. We continue to serve families from generation to generation with empathy, dignity and respect.

Funeral Planning Report

Family and friends getting together to honor a loved one's life is one of the most important steps in the grieving and healing process. You may opt to have a traditional religious or military service, or as more and more people are doing, you can choose to have a non-traditional 'life celebration'.

When Death Occurs Report

No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.

Burial Services Report

Traditionally, a burial service involves a visitation, followed by a funeral service in a church, or other place of worship. The casket is typically present at both these events, and it is your decision on whether to have the casket open or not. You have the option of having the remains interred (earth burial), or it may be entombed in a crypt inside a mausoleum (above ground burial).

Not really a place that a customer can review because they are passed by the time they use the services. I really thought that they provided the best services in town for my loved one.

My parents pre-paid for their funerals at Falconer Funeral Home and I thank them for that! Matt and Dave were very professional --there when we needed them but unobtrusive. They did a wonderful job for both of my parents and for us as a grieving family.

I can't begin to thank Dave and Jake enough for the kindness they showed for my mother Gertrude Fitch. Mom was transported from Texas to New York after she passed. Dave arranged for everything. Mom passed after midnight and Dave was right there to make all of the arrangements. They have compassion for the entire family. The service for mom was just beautiful and I know she is looking down and smiling on the Falconer Funeral Home.
