Welcome

The Farnelli Funeral Home of Williamstown, NJ, was founded in 1960 by Stephen, Sr. and Anita Farnelli at 34 Church Street in Williamstown, just down the road from where it is currently located. The facility, as it exists today, was built ten years later at 504 North Main Street.


Steve and Anita passed the business to their son Donald Farnelli in 2001. Don is a lifelong resident of Williamstown and a graduate of Williamstown High School and Mercer County Mortuary School.


The funeral home handles traditional funerals, cremation services, as well as long distance arrangements. Don is a pre-planning specialist and the Farnelli's offer pre-funding through the New Jersey Pre-paid Funeral Trust Fund and Homesteaders Life Insurance Company.


Serving all faiths, the Farnelli's pride themselves on their ability to personalize a funeral. Families have numerous options ranging from customizable prayer cards, to still-photo memorial videos (and much more! see "Services"). They also provide information and assistance for pre-planning, estate settlement, and information to help survivors with their loss.

Please explore our menu for information about our facility and the services we provide. You will find a number of useful tools to help you make informed decisions. Also included are directions and links to local florists. You may return to this page by clicking the Farnelli Funeral Home name above.
