Services
The funeral home occupies a historic converted farmhouse with a 1961 addition that expanded capacity for growing community needs. The facility features flexible chapel space configurable for religious services or secular celebrations, a dedicated Celebration of Life center for personalized events, and a coffee lounge for family gatherings. The picturesque setting in Gates has been maintained throughout the property's transition from family ownership to the Dignity Memorial network.
The funeral home provides comprehensive arrangement options including fully remote planning capabilities for families unable to visit in person.
Alvah Halloran & Son Funeral Home has served the Gates-Chili and greater Rochester communities from its distinctive location at 2125 Chili Avenue since 1957. The facility occupies one of the oldest standing structures in the town of Gates—a converted farmhouse that M. Alvah Halloran and his son H. Daniel Halloran transformed into a funeral home more than six decades ago.
The business grew quickly enough to require a major expansion just four years after opening, with a large addition constructed in 1961. Following M. Alvah Halloran's unexpected death in 1973, his son Dan continued operations until retiring in the late 1990s. The funeral home subsequently became part of the Dignity Memorial network while retaining its original name and community identity.
Today the facility emphasizes personalized storytelling in its services, positioning itself as "expert storytellers" who craft one-of-a-kind tributes reflecting individual passions—from ski chalet-themed celebrations to 1960s dance parties—while remaining equally capable of delivering traditional funeral services without additional customization.
