We at Connell Funeral Home are firmly committed to the concept of assisting families in the creation of meaningful funeral ceremonies. We believe that meaningful funeral ceremonies can and do make a significant difference in how the bereaved channel their grief toward health and healing.

History

Established in 1919.

Connell Funeral Home was founded by the late Francis J. Connell, Sr. in 1919. Since then the Connell family has served the needs of the greater Bethlehem area with dedication and distinction. Mr. Connell, Sr. based his efforts on a simple philosophy of true care, concern and compassion for his fellow man. Built on this foundation the Connell name has become synonymous with funerals in the Lehigh Valley.

In the 1940’s Mr. Connell was joined by his son, the late Francis J. Connell, Jr. This led to the opening of a second location in 1952. Their practice thrived and grew along with the community, continuing on a steady path of expansion, becoming the most often selected funeral home in the Lehigh Valley.
