The Dancy Difference

Rooted in Tradition. Committed to Every Family.

At Dancy Funeral Home, we are proud to continue a legacy of service as the oldest funeral home family in West Essex — bringing more than 100 years of experience, compassion, and unparalleled care to the families we serve.

What makes us different is simple:
We see every life as unique, and every family as part of our own.

Family-Owned and Family-Focused

As a fourth-generation family business, we understand the importance of trust, tradition, and personal connection. When you call us, you reach our family — not an answering service. We are here with you every step of the way.

Personalized Services, Thoughtful Details

No two lives are the same, and no two services should be either.
We offer personalized touches such as:

  • Custom photo guest books to treasure memories
  • Complimentary video tributes celebrating a life well lived
  • Therapy dog support from Morris V. Prout for extra comfort and care
  • Interactive Remember Pages where family and friends can share stories and photographs online

From the first conversation to the smallest detail, we are committed to honoring your loved one in a way that feels genuine and meaningful.

Accessible, Central and Community-Minded

Located on quiet Smull Avenue in the heart of Caldwell, we offer:

  • A centrally located space easily accessible by car or public transportation

  • Ample parking on-site and nearby

  • A facility designed for comfort, accessibility, and ease

Beyond our walls, we are active members of the West Essex community, committed to giving back and supporting the families who trust us.

Plan Together, Even When Apart

Our secure Family Planning Portal helps families organize arrangements, stay connected, and find support — whether you’re across town or across the country. From memorial planning to important aftercare tasks like freezing credit and closing online accounts, we guide you every step of the way.

We combine the care and tradition families expect with the innovation and flexibility modern families need.
