5 years ago Christmas eve my Nana passed. She was such a strong independent woman. She was kind. She had a sharp wit, she was our rock. When she passed we were lost. As we gather years later there is a debt of gratitude I must pay. I accompanied my mom to Cafasso funeral home on what must have been the hardest day of her life. The kindness we were met with, the interest that Joe showed in my Nana. Who she was, what she liked. It made that moment so special. As we gathered for christmas this year, I realized everybody remembered her services, but nobody said thank you to the people who made it happen. Joe, thank you for all the Dandelions, her favorite, there were plenty and we noticed EVERYBODY noticed. Thank you for making a very tough time so very special. Phil Ciavardone

I would just like to thank everyone at Rocco Salvatore & Sons Funeral. My father passed away recently and Ritchie made everything so easy and seamless. We only had one meeting with him and he made sure everything was taken care of right down to the smallest detail. That is so important when you're grieving a loved one. My father had lost a lot of weight while he was sick, but they made him look just like he did when he was well. My family is large and we have used Rocco's for decades. We have never been disappointed. Thank you!

Richie Rocco, Leo Spano, and the entire staff at Rocco Funeral Home were truly plus ultra and did a tremendous job handling both of my parents funeral services. Richie and his team paid close attention to every detail and were extremely compassionate, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. During a very difficult time, their care and guidance meant more to our family than we can express. We are deeply grateful for everything they did for us.

From the very first conversation, the staff showed us nothing but patience, compassion, and genuine care during one of the hardest moments of our lives. Losing my brother was incredibly painful. Seeing my mother in tears and witnessing the heartbreak of my niece his daughter made the loss even more overwhelming. Throughout it all, they were deeply caring and supportive. They never rushed us, never pressured us, and always took the time to explain everything with kindness, respect, and understanding. Their compassion brought comfort during a time when we needed it most, they were incredibly supportive and respectful of our familys needs. Their empathy went beyond professionalism it felt truly human. Every question was answered with care, every concern was met with reassurance, and every step was handled with dignity. We are deeply grateful for the patience they showed us and the comfort they provided during such a painful chapter. I would highly recommend this funeral home to anyone
