During the past twenty years, publicly-owned corporations have been consolidating the funeral business similarly to what has occurred in other businesses. Recently, this trend has reversed because the corporate-owned funeral homes have simply not measured up to the service that families receive from family-owned funeral homes.
For generations funeral services have been provided by local families who have deep roots in their community. When dealing with such an important event in your families life, turning to a funeral director whom you know and trust can make a world of difference. Whelan Bros. & Hulchanski Funeral Home is the best in the business.

Our history begins when Andrew "Dub" Whelan emigrated from Dublin, Ireland to Syracuse, New York. He received a New York State Embalmers Licensed in February of 1914 and worked as a "trade embalmer" for several prominent funeral homes in Syracuse. He married Julia Cooligan whose family owned and operated Cooligan's Livery (Hearse) Service.
No matter what time of day or night, call Whelan Bros. & Hulchanski Funeral Home at (315) 488-5555. We are available at any time to take your call. During the initial call, one of our directors will assist you in determining the general timeline of events and suggest various scenarios of service plans available.
If you choose to pre-pay, you also relieve your family of the possibility of sudden, unexpected expense. In New York, pre-planning funds are 100% trusted, which is required by state law. A pre-funded burial trust is very easy to establish, and your pre-payment may qualify for SSI/Medicaid allowances.

They talk about seeing customers as family but don't believe it for a second. My family had been personal friends of the Whelan family for all of my 60+ years. Even so, they demanded full payment up front, even after being told the deceased's bank accounts had been frozen upon death. This is a very common thing that banks do so any funeral home should expect it. Yet they wouldn't trust us, their actual friends, to make a down-payment and full payment as soon as the money was unfrozen. They swindled us with the 'pick out the coffin & then we'll tell you the rest of the prices' trick. In other words
