About Dreier-Giltner Funeral Home

Dreier-Giltner Funeral Home is an independently owned funeral home serving the Rochester, NY area, which may appeal to families who prefer working with a locally rooted business rather than a corporate chain. As a full-service funeral home, they are equipped to assist with a range of arrangements, though specific details about services such as cremation packages, burial options, pre-planning, or veterans' services are not available here. Direct cremation starts at $1,895, though pricing for other services is not publicly listed, which makes it difficult to assess full cost relative to the local market. They carry a 5.0-star Google rating, though with only 12 reviews, that score reflects a limited sample and may not capture the full range of family experiences.
