Falvo Funeral Home was first founded in 1926 by Joseph Falvo. The original location was on Ontario Street on Rochester's northside. He established locations on Lake Avenue, Woodward Street and finally the present location on North Goodman Street near the Irondequoit border. Joseph ran the funeral home until 1961 when he passed it on to his sons Richard and Arthur Falvo.
No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. 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.
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).
Giving a meaningful, moving eulogy can be a nerve-wracking situation for even the most accomplished public speaker, but it need not be. How can you summarize somebody's life in a few short minutes, while being both somber and funny at the same time? Writing and delivering a eulogy is a therapeutic tool to help deal with your grief, and being chosen to give a eulogy is an honor and should be treated that way.

From start to finish and with the utmost compassion, the Falvo family helped us step by step in the most difficult times. Rick was more than accommodating and allowed our family the time we needed to grieve. We let him know what our expected turnout would be the day of the wake and also the morning of the funeral, allowing them to properly plan for our fathers services. Thank you Falvo family.

Mike Secor's funeral was mismanaged...both rooms should have been set up for seating and the sound system should have been utilized. We arrived at 12:45 for a 1 o'clock service and there was standing room only in the hallway. The crowd for calling hours the night before should have been an indication of the crowd the funeral would draw. It was very unfortunate we could not hear anything of the service from our vantage point in the hallway. Very unprofessional.
