In 2003, the face of the funeral service in Philadelphia changed when nearby Slabinski Funeral Home merged with Sucharski Funeral Home and now has become the Slabinski Sucharski Funeral Home, combining their staff and facilities to better serve the community. The Slabinski Funeral Home was established in 1917 by Joseph F. Slabinski.
Since then, the Slabinski family has carried on a tradition of exemplary service and attention to each family's needs. Joseph F. Slabinski III is Supervisor of the firm's daily operations, and prides himself with over 50 years of experience in funeral service. Joe follows in the footsteps of his father Joseph F. Jr. and mother Elizabeth, who up until her death in 2000, was Supervisor of the family service.

Slabinski Sucharski Funeral Home is the first funeral provider in Philadelphia Pennsylvania to have earned accreditation from the Green Burial Council to provide options for natural burial. A natural burial, sometimes called a green burial, does not contemplate the use of formaldehyde-based embalming, the use of a metal caskets, or the placement of concrete burial vaults.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, Pray for me.
O Divine Master; grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.7. One night a man had a dream.

I would like to say thank you to Slabinski funeral home. I recently had a death in my family and decided to have a memorial on my own. I reached out to the funeral home to ask a few questions and your kindness humbled me. Any time I have ever had to go to a funeral here or spoke to them through the neighborhood they are always so gracious and professional. They make you feel like family.

I had never lost anyone close to me until recently when I lost my Father. I had no idea what to do or how to handle any of the arrangements or paperwork. I couldnt believe how awfully complicated death can be for the loved ones left behind.....I was completely lost. Slabinski Sucharski Funeral Home went above and and beyond to make this very difficult time in our lives as smooth and easy as possible. I will be eternally grateful to Nicole and the entire staff for being understanding, helpful, respectful and basically doing everything in their power to make our loss a little more bearable. Unfortunately
