Welcome to Falco, Caruso & Leonard Funeral Home

Providing full service before, during and after time of need.

UPDATED NOVEMBER 27, 2020

To the families that we serve:

             Our staff is here to assure you that we will continue to serve our community and that the health and safety of the families we serve as well as our staff and associates remain a top priority.

              As of August 22nd, the Commissioner of the Department of Health, Judith Persichilli, revised Executive Directive 20-010 which affects the handling, memorialization and disposition of human remains during the COVID-19 emergency. 

               As originally outlined in Executive Order No. 152 and as recently modified in Executive Order No. 183, indoor gatherings for funerals and memorials are limited to 25% of room capacity. The Revised Directive permits in-person viewings, visitations, or ceremonies with an open casket so long as mortuaries discourage mourners from touching the decedent by using an appropriate physical barrier, such as stanchion roping, that separates mourners from the decedent. 

               We are proud of our 10,000 square foot Pennsauken Funeral Home that allows us to accommodate 95 people as determined by the above Executive Order. We are also proud to debut our new Hand Wash Station located off the side foyer of our Pennsauken Funeral Home. Due to the current health pandemic and the uncertainty of the future, we have decided to make this addition to our funeral home to ensure the safety of the families we serve, visitors, and our staff. We have also installed numerous hand sanitation pumps throughout the funeral home.

               We understand these are difficult times and that funeral directors and families we serve are both working through feelings of isolation.  Grief as we understood it has changed, our routines are upended, and everyone’s sense of what was known has become disrupted. 

                With all of that being stated: We are open and will remain open and serving our community, and will take care of your loved ones no matter what type of services you are selecting, whether burial or cremation.  We pledge to abide by local, NJ state, federal and CDC guidelines and are continuously monitoring practices and recommendations set forth by both the NJ state and national Funeral Director’s Associations.  We pledge to continue serving your families with compassion and provide the most dignified service that we can within the scope of current regulation, while also helping to plan a future memorial service or Celebration of Life.

                For funeral planning, we can guide you in person, via phone and electronically.   We have invested through the years in state of the art technology that will allow our families to share their services with friends and loved ones over the internet while we are in this time of crisis and for an enhanced memorial gathering once we all get through this time together.

                For a family in need at a time of death – call us. We will meet with you, in person or virtually, and help you plan your services.  Any public notifications have the ability to be stated that the services are being handled privately due to the current health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the recommendations of the CDC. Services can be videotaped by our staff to be shared with friends and family who could not attend. As always, as new information becomes available, these policies are subject to change to adhere to the guidelines set forth.

                For everyone else – call the family. They still need your support at this time so they know that they are not alone.  Offer words of support via phone, text, email; send flowers, a card or have a meal delivered; make a charitable donation or have a Mass said in their name; send your condolences via the funeral home website to them and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.  These small gestures will make a huge difference on a grieving family and will help them get through the coming days.

                Finally, PLEASE listen to the guidelines being set forth by our governments and take care of yourselves and your neighbors.

Please feel free to browse our pages to learn more about pre-planning a funeral and grief support, as well as the traditional funeral and cremation services that we have to offer.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at anytime, we are available by phone or e-mail, or drop by the office in person.  We are always here to help.

We understand that it is not always possible to attend a service or visitation in person, so we encourage you to use our beautifully designed interactive online tributes to pay your respects. Leave a condolence, share a memory, post a photo, light a candle and more!
