About Galante Funeral Home

Galante Funeral Home traces back to 1934, when Elvira I. Galante opened the family's first location in Newark's Ironbound section after becoming one of the few licensed female funeral directors of her era. Her sons Frank, Richard and Joseph later joined the business, followed by a third generation of grandchildren in the 1970s, making this a multi-generation family operation now in its ninth decade.

The Caldwell location at 54 Roseland Avenue has served Essex County since 1975, complementing the family's original Union facility on Morris Avenue. Frank R. Galante, a New Jersey licensed funeral director, manages both locations.

Services include burial, mausoleum entombment, cremation, military tributes, pre-need planning, and transport in and out of state or internationally. The firm also carries forward the legacy of the former Parkway-Wozniak Memorial Home, extending its reach to families throughout Caldwell and surrounding Essex County communities such as Bloomfield, Belleville, and Bergenfield.
