The Caring Staff at Pantalone Funeral Home

Natale N. Pantalone

Natale N. Pantalone

Funeral Director / Owner / Supervisor

Nat has been involved with the Pantalone Funeral Home since an early age, working alongside his father and family.  He became a second-generation funeral director in 1993 and has strived to be on the forefront of the funeral industry.  He is always looking for ways to do better…from having one of the first websites in Western PA, offering photo prayer cards to now having memorial videos and livestreamed services available in all common rooms at the funeral home.  His belief is a family should only need to make the call to the funeral home and we will take care of the rest.  The “home” has been a passion for Nat, and he can be seen constantly working to upgrade and improve the building and grounds with a hands-on approach.  In addition to being the owner and funeral director, he is the “Handyman”.   Along with his wife, Melanie, they are very active in their community.  He and his wife, Melanie, are the proud parents of four sons: Joe (Elizabeth), Jeff (Candice), Clement and Dante and grandparents to five granddaughters, Ella, Lillian, Ava, Nina and Lila.
