Prudden & Kandt Funeral Home

Specialties

It is our mission to guide and serve all families and individuals in a professional, timely, caring manner in regards of their departed loved ones. Family and friends getting together to honor a loved one’s life is one of the most important steps in the grieving and healing process. You may opt to have a traditional religious or military service, or as more and more people are doing, you can choose to have a non-​traditional ‘life celebration’.

Decisions need to be made about the location of the funeral, the choice of casket or urn and who the pallbearers should be. Another decision to make is who will be officiating the service. You can choose to have a minister (or other religious leader) or a celebrant officiate the service. The difference between a minister and a celebrant is a celebrant is non-​denominational.

Whatever you choose, some sort of service is expected from family and friends of the deceased. We are here to help create a unique and memorable service that people will remember fondly for years to come.

History

Established in 1876.

In 1994, Prudden & Kandt Funeral Home added another chapel on the west side of the property, expanding the parking lot by demolishing three homes thereby doubling the parking facilities, also adding a new entrance with carport conveniences, and elevator lift for the handicapped and many extensive interior improvements.

In 2000 John’s son Andrew G. Rosenberg joined the firm becoming the fourth generation in the Rosenberg Family to work at Prudden & Kandt Funeral Home. Upon Jerry’s wife’s retirement from working in the office John’s daughter, Krista A. (Rosenberg) Cain took over in 2002. Sadly in July 2006 after 62 years of service Gerald H. Rosenberg passed away, he was 89. The Firm continues its rich history and long family owned traditions in serving families of all religious denominations in the greater Lockport Area.
