Fitzpatrick Funeral Home Inc.

Old style funeral home in the heart of Roxborough serving long-​time Roxborough families. Parking can be challenging in this neck of the woods so come early to get one if the few parking spaces in the lot or else you’ll be parking your car along the center yellow line on Lyceum Avenue. Street parking is almost nonexistent due to the gentrification of Manyunk and Roxborough.

This was the most unfriendly and unhelpful staff I have ever encountered in dealing with the passing of a loved one. Money was limited, and I feel that as a result of that, they limited their professionalism. Folks in their 80’s set aside money years ago, when $ 5000. bought a great service, but now that amount limits options. They wanted a 15 minute viewing, same day as burial. We had to fight to extend it to a hour. There was no guest book, (extra). The décor looked like a yard sale exploded inside the place. Guests had to ask repeatedly for «Funeral» Flags for the cars. The body was picked up 2 blocks from the home, the cemetery is only a few miles from the home and it was held on a Saturday during the Philadelphia Bike Race, a few feet from the festivities, so, it was not a high demand time for them. It was basically a family gathering to say goodbye to a life long lived and we felt as if we were bothering them because it was not a more expensive funeral. As a small businesswoman, I value all customers and every sale. I felt Fitzpatrick, does not. Spending less is not a crime or something to be ashamed of. Tsk tsk.
