About Us

For more than 75 years, Stolfo Funeral Home has kept true to its promise to deliver exceptional customer service and care. Charles Stolfo Sr. opened his funeral parlor business in 1939, back when “wakes” were held in the homes of the deceased. In 1940, Charles’ son, Charles Stolfo, Jr., joined the family business with the same passion and care passed down from his father. But, shortly thereafter World War II broke out and the younger Stolfo enlisted in the army where he proudly served his country for 4 years.

After the war, Charles Stolfo Jr. returned to the neighborhood and re-joined his father at the funeral home. As the business grew, the family moved to a permanent location at 2536 S. Broad Street. Enjoying much success and needing more space to accommodate, they expanded the business to the adjacent property. Now in its 4th generation, the family-owned and operated Stolfo Funeral Home has become a trusted source of solace for generations of families over the past 75 years.

Keeping within family tradition, Charles Stolfo Jr.’s son, Paul Stolfo, joined the family business in 1974 and currently serves as the funeral homes’ Director. Paul graduated from the American Academy McAllister Institute in 1974 with a degree in funeral service and obtained his license to become the third generation to join the Stolfo Funeral Home.

Marianne, one of Paul’s 3 daughters, took place alongside her father in February 2015, making her the 4th generation Stolfo to become a funeral director. She even attended the American Academy McAllister Institute, her father’s alma mater. She received her license after apprenticing with her father in 2013.
