Gilbert Funeral Home & Crematory

Since 1848, we've helped clients in and around New Castle, PA with an outstanding tradition of quality, excellence and value. The R. Cunningham Funeral Home and Crematory is the sixth generation of family involvement and one of the county's oldest businesses. In 2008 we added a crematory and are owned by Roger D. Cunningham and Michael S. Cunningham. Our goal is to provide a service as meaningful and unique as the family we serve, no matter what their religious preference. With any service selected, there are many ways to personalize and memorialize your loved one. We assist our client families in personalizing a funeral service, and tailor it to the lifestyle and personality of the life that was lived. As no two people are exactly alike, no tribute to a life that was lived should be the same as another. Our staff provides expert personal assistance with many details, from making reservations at local restaurants and hotels, to arranging for catering, floral arrangements, cemetery memorials, airline reservations and numerous other funeral related requests. We will assist in filing for life insurance proceeds, pension and/or other survivor benefits and can take an assignment of a policy to cover funeral expenses. We also specialize in Pre-Need Planning. One of the most loving, caring things that an individual can do is leave behind details and information in regard to Pre-Planning. If you feel it is too hard to discuss funeral arrangements at this time, just think how difficult it would be for your loved ones at a time of loss. Pre-Planning will give you and your family the security and satisfaction knowing that all the arrangements have been planned and paid for.

The passing of a loved one is always traumatic. A single call to us will help alleviate the confusing and overwhelming events at this trying time.
