Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home has been a pillar of support and comfort for families in the Schenectady community, creating healing experiences during times of loss. They have years of experience caring for families from all walks of life. Each family entrusts them with their loved ones because they recognize Rossi & Ditoro as leaders in the profession, dedicated to providing excellence in service and upholding the highest standards of integrity.
The firm has a rich history, dating back to 1903. That is when Nicola Rossi and his brother Dominick emigrated from Alvignano, province of Caserta, Italy, and settled in New Haven, CT. Dominick ventured into the funeral profession, attending an embalming school in New York City. In 1907, he moved to Schenectady and opened a funeral parlor. In 1908, Nicola joined his brother in Schenectady, establishing a tradition of family dedication to the funeral business. Over time, Dominick expanded the family business, establishing funeral parlors in Ohio, specifically in Cincinnati, Akron, Niles, and Warren. Dominick eventually returned to New York, settling in Utica, where he established another funeral parlor.
In 1996, David J. Ditoro joined the firm as a funeral director and partner. That strengthened the company and further elevated their commitment to serving families in need. With this partnership, the funeral establishment became known as Rossi & Ditoro Funeral Home. The funeral home has operated for over 100 years.
BEAUTIFUL SYMPATHY FLOWER DESIGNS
Funeral wreaths, like standing sprays, are a traditional way to honor the deceased and offer comfort to grieving loved ones. Typically crafted from various flowers such as lilies, roses, and chrysanthemums, funeral wreaths are designed in a circular shape symbolizing eternal life and the everlasting memory of the departed. They can be displayed prominently during the funeral service or wake, often placed near the casket or as a centerpiece. After the service, they serve as a beautiful keepsake for families to take home, where they can be placed in a suitable spot as a lasting tribute to their cherished one. Each wreath is unique, thoughtfully arranged to reflect the personality, preference, and legacy of the deceased.
Funeral wreaths are often adorned with ribbons, banners, or personalized cards that include messages of sympathy and support. These additional details add a personal touch and can provide comfort to the bereaved. Many florists offer customizable options for funeral wreaths, allowing families to choose specific flowers or colors that hold special meaning to them or the deceased.
In addition to traditional round-shaped funeral wreaths, there are also heart-shaped or cross-shaped designs available. These shapes can hold significant religious symbolism and may be chosen by families based on their faith or beliefs. Some may even opt for non-traditional designs such as sports-themed wreaths, reflecting the hobbies and passions of the deceased.
