Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home

Our Family, Serving Your Family, Like Family In addition, you will find that the team will work around the clock to deliver the program you desire.

Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home is a trusted, caring, and family-owned business that has been serving families since 1935. They have built a reputation that their dedicated funeral directors strive to live up to with each program they arrange. The funeral planning team has found that open and honest conversations about the services offered make families feel comfortable to share their wishes. Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home is ready to help you with funeral or cremation arrangements. Funeral services can last several days with a visitation or viewing, which is an open-casket optional occasion for friends and families to pay their final respects. The funeral service can be traditional, with speakers, musical selections, and memories shared. Then, a graveside ceremony can be held at the burial site. Whether you choose the full package or the parts that are most meaningful to your family, the team will be ready to assist you. Cremation services can be a standalone affair without a ceremony, or you can arrange a cremation with memorial service so that friends and family can gather to say goodbye. Life celebrations are also offered through the funeral home. You can gather in a more casual setting with music, dancing, hobby displays, and favorite sports memorabilia. For any of these programs, know that we can include veteran services and military honors for those who qualify. Farrell-Ryan Funeral Home takes pride in serving the communities of Rochester, Greece, Hilton, Irondequoit, Gates, Chili, Henrietta, and Spencerport. You can count on the team to support you with grief resources during this sensitive time. The respectful, dignified home is specially designed to offer you comfort when you need it most.
