Dear Joe & associates, Thank you so much for the assistance you rendered to our family. As usual it was outstanding. My daughter says we will be buried in "our" room. It is our comfort zone.

Cordial greetings every time that we entered! Rooms to accommodate overflow of people! Helpful in planning daily routine! Beautiful Catholic Mass. Room for after funeral gathering for family! Polite and respectful staff!

Dear Joe & staff, Thank you for everything that you did to make my husband Tom's funeral bearable for me. My husband was a planner and I am glad that he pre-planned his special occasion. When my two daughters and I met with you before the viewing I wondered how I was going to het through all of the next few days with dignity. When I walked in and viewed my husband in the casket, he looked like he did in the picture next to him.
being ill the last few years lying there that day he looked good. Thank you. The mass at St Patrick's was absolutely lovely, Father Tom did an excellent job and also at the cemetery too. He made everything personal. Also having the 2 rooms was so nice for the number of visitors that came. Having the after funeral luncheon was so accomadating rater than having to go elsewhere. I do appreciate the blanket throw. With Tom's picture and the date of his birth and death, I also bought 6 more. Thank you for everything, Joe. We would recommend your funeral home.

Going to Joseph Salandra following the passing of my husband was truly a great decision. Joseph was kind and compassionate. He gave me the space to decide on my own or interject opinions when I was stumped. It is not easy making funeral decisions. We were at the start of the pandemic and I respect that Joseph made sure we didn't over spend on things we did not need since our funeral was smaller. I am 100% pleased with the level of service and the care received from Salandra Funeral Services!

Salandra’s staff offered incredible, kind help to my family in a time of desperation and need. The staff was very attentive to our desires and needs, and were so flexible. They were genuine and truly cared for my entire family. They even provided a beautiful blanket for my family to keep. I highly recommend Salandra’s Funeral & Cremation Service to anyone in the Canonsburg or surrounding areas. We were so pleased.

Mr. Salandra & staff, Our sincere thank you for your services taking care of Paul's Funeral arrangements. It is what he had requested. Thank you also for the memorial throw. What a wonderful way to tribute Paul. We were indeed pleased.

Thank you so very much for all you help during this difficult time. The blanket was beautiful. We really appreciated everything.

Thank you so much for the beautiful blanket, you did an amazing job on my mother, she just looked so peaceful.

Joe and his staff were very professional, caring and compassionate. They sat down with us and explained everything, every detail. Helped us through a tough time. Our family has known Joe for a very long time. I would recommend Salandra's

Joe Salandra and his staff were so considerate and thoughtful. Everything looked so beautiful and warm. We really appreciated the guest room across the street. It was so accommodating. We brought food in for the family and friends and we didn't have to leave the premises. Thank you so much..

Dear Joseph, My mom, brother and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and kindness you showed us at by husband, our dad's viewing and funeral service. Having a place for us to bring food and eat together was accommodating and comforting too. It was all so beautiful and peaceful. We all know our dad was smiling down at us. He would have been so ahppy and pleased,

Dear Mr. Salandra, Thank you so much for your kind & caring service to Brittan, Morgan and John. Children should not be burying a parent at such a young age. They didn't know where to start. You and your staff were kind, caring, professional and helpful every step of the way. Thank you for all you did. Wishing you the best.

Joe, I want to thank you so very much for allowing us to bring Mon into the funeral home privately to pay respects to our loved Inez. She & mom were very close & it would have been extremely difficult for her to go without having that time to honor her "sister". In addition, allowing us all to accompany mon (since we are all caregivers & can not risk bringing something to mon) is equally appreciated! It's wonderful people like you who help so much during this unprecedented & stressful time, especially in light of the unique challenges of losing a loved one now. On behalf of Isabelle & our family, thank you again. Wishing you & your family safety, hood health & many blessings.

Dear Mr. Salandra and staff, Thank you sincerely for the beautiful memorial to our son Paul and daughter-in-law Darla. A year has passed but it seems like only yesterday. We miss them everyday. God bless you dear people.

Joe & staff, Thank you so much for all the love, care, support and respect you provide. Not only at times like now but always. You all have been a great shoulder to lean on. The entire staff does their job so well, making arrangements was an after-thought, something we didn't need to worry about in our time of sorrow. For that you have our eternal thanks and respect.

Dear team at Salandra, Thank you so much for the care you took of my mother in preparation for her funeral. She looked beautiful, serene, and peaceful. Those of us, her children & grandchildren, who live far away were so glad to be part of the live stream of her funeral.

We appreciate your generous donation to our foundation. Ron was an alumni board member.

Everyone there goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and at peace with all your choices. Everything was exceptional! Thank you!!

Everyone was so caring and nice!!

Joe, Janice, Darla, Andy and Chris are very kind, loving and caring. They truly care about what the family is going through. They go above and beyond to make you feel and know they are there for you. I've known Joe and Janice through several family members and friends passing and they have always been loving and caring even when they see you out somewhere. Joe does not treat you as "just business" he treats you as family.

Thank you so very much. My mother LOVED each one of you as family. Thank you cannot express our feelings enough.

Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time and for making our mom look beautiful!!

Everyone is so kind and helpful there. Thank you so much!

I would like to take the time to personally thank you for selecting me for this year's recipient for your scholarship. This scholarship will be very helpful during my time at Penn State. Again, thank you very much!

Darla was exceptional and your staff was very courteous. I would recommend your place to anyone. Thank you again~

I received an estimate from Darla and when my husband passed away we used Salandra Funeral Home. My husband was cremated and I was very grateful when Darla offered me a beautiful urn in place of the box his remains came in. Many thanks.

The funeral director who helped me make arrangements was absolutely wonderful. It might have been easier on me to make my arrangements ahead of time but I was extremely pleased with how smoothly and efficiently everything went. I will be calling Darla soon to make an appointment to make arrangements for myself. Thank you~

Joseph is very respectful and professional. Our family thanks him for his caring way.

My parents used your funeral home for their services. It was very comforting to use someone I trusted at a very difficult time in my life. Thank you.

They all made a sad time much easier.

Darla Tripoli was wonderful, making the experience personal with sadness and happiness. We were able to share our thoughts and the people at my husband's funeral commented that it was the most wonderful experience they had ever been to.

Joe and Darla were exceptional in every way, as well as everyone associated with the funeral home. My family and I are very grateful with the experience we had at such a sad time in our lives. Thank you~

Joe and Darla, Thank you for being so helpful to our family during our brother's funeral services. Your sensitivity to our family was greatly appreciated.

There just aren't enough words to thank you for honoring our mother like you did. I cannot believe how beautiful she looked. Your artistry in how you made her look was amazing. She looked radiant! Thank you for that lasting image to hold onto forever.

Joe~you did a great job! Thank you very much. Dad would have been happy.

The willingness of Joe and Darla to work around the schedule we needed and not pressuring us to make quick decisions was more than I can put into words. Everything went so smoothly and that greatly lessened the stress for me after losing my husband.

Thank you for making the services as pleasurable as it could be.

Darla, When we first met, you immediately put our minds at ease during such a stressful time. You celebrated my dad's life beautifully with the information we provided. During our second meeting, you asked if I would speak at my dads funeral, which I said I couldn't. I did not feel as if I could stand in front of everybody and form words. But I did. You helped me to push through the tears and emotions to honor my father. To have no regrets. For that, I am eternally grateful.

Joe, losing my father was the hardest experience I ever had to endure in my life. In the early morning of his passing, Andrew and Troy arrived at the house and were beyond professional dressed in suits and overcoats. Two class act men. They asked if my family needed any more time before they began. They treated my father respectfully and made the transition as smooth as possible. During the visitation and funeral, you made my family feel at home. I am honored to call you neighbor and friend here in Canonsburg.

Salandra's took such good care of my father when he passed, that it was the perfect place for my mother! Thank you so very much for all you did for my mom.

Thank you for everything you did for our family and to ease the pain of losing our loved one. Everything was just what we wanted. Thank you again~

Everything was well taken care of. Thank you so much.

Thank you to all who helped us during this time. Blessings to all!!

Thank you for your kindness during a very difficult time. My mother's services were prearranged which took away the burden of making decisions at a stressful time in my life.

Thank you for your kindness and excellent service throughout the funeral of our mother. Everyone was comforting and full of affection. Blessings to you all~

Wonderful people to work with!! Was taken care of in such a wonderful manner! Thank you, Joe!

Darla was very patient and helpful throughout and even after the process. I will ever be grateful to her for getting me through this difficult time.

Darla & Joe, we would like to thank you for all the loving care and support you gave to us, our family and friends during this tragic loss in our lives. Please keep us in your prayers and we will also do the same for you as you continue to touch others lives. God Bless you.

I would like to send out a special thank you to Salandra Funeral Home in Canonsburg. They did an outstanding job handling my mom's passing and helping me through the whole process. I highly recommend them! Joe Salandra went well beyond what he had to do to help me through this. And a special thank you to Darla who handles just about everything down there. She even drove to Washington to meet me to get the picture of Mom for the newspaper. She is a wonderful person and bent over backwards to help me pick out things that were very special. My family and myself are forever grateful. Thank you Joe, Darla, Andy and Vince!

I would like to thank everyone there for the gracious way you handled the arrangements for my son. Your constant presence and attention to detail was most appreciated during this difficult time. Again, you went above and beyond the call of duty and I am so very grateful.

Joseph, so many emotions and feelings that just cannot be captured in words. My heart is so full of joy and thankfulness for all you've done for my family during this difficult time. How can I ever express my gratitude? There just are not any words. You are an amazing person, awesome friend and someone I will cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. AP

Joseph, Darla and the entire staff were knowledgeable, professional and sympathetic to our family's grief. We could not be more pleased with every detail of the services. Thank you all~

Dear Joseph and Staff~We can't thank you enough!! The service for (my friend) my mother was outstanding! We appreciated the kindness and attentiveness you and your staff offered. My mom would have been elated! Truly, she looked gorgeous!! I'm sure you and your staff has had many compliments in the past, but I know you are the best in the profession!! Thank you!!

Joe and Darla, Thank you for all the arrangements and assistance you made on behalf of my family for my husband. We sincerely appreciated all your efforts. Everything ran smoothly. Thank you again!!
