Alvah Halloran & Son Funeral Home

Alvah Halloran & Son Funeral Home, located at 2125 Chili Avenue in Rochester, New York, has been a cornerstone of compassionate funeral service in the Gates-Chili and surrounding communities since 1957. Founded by the late M. Alvah Halloran, a second-generation funeral director, and his son H. Daniel Halloran, the funeral home began in a converted farmhouse that remains one of the oldest standing structures in the town of Gates. As the business grew, a large addition was constructed in 1961 to better serve the increasing number of families. Following M. Alvah Halloran’s unexpected passing in 1973, his son Dan successfully operated the funeral home until his retirement in the late 1990s. Today, Alvah Halloran & Son is proud to be part of the Dignity Memorial® network, a trusted provider of funeral, cremation, and cemetery services known for compassionate care and exceptional customer satisfaction.

The funeral home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor every unique life story. Families can choose from traditional funeral services, personalized tributes that celebrate individual passions—such as a chapel decorated to reflect a loved one’s favorite hobby—or simple cremation options that remain dignified and meaningful. The staff works closely with families to plan one-of-a-kind memorials, ensuring every detail reflects the personality and legacy of the deceased. Additional services include assistance with death certificates, travel arrangements, insurance claims, Social Security survivors benefits, and grief support through a 24-hour compassion helpline. The facility features an onsite chapel, wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking, free on-site parking, and prepayment plans to help families lock in today’s prices for future services.

Deeply rooted in the Rochester community, Alvah Halloran & Son hosts annual events such as a car show fundraiser, food drive, and Halloween celebration for children, supporting local organizations like Hope Hall School.
