Personalized Funerals In Penn Yan

At Townsend-Wood & Zinger Funeral Home, we believe each unique individual deserves an equally unique memorial service. Your stories from life inspire us to create a fitting tribute to honor your loved one.

You can share with us your story of a lifelong hobby, dedication to a vocation or passion for a project. From there, our licensed funeral directors will weave those personal touches into the memorial. When it comes to a custom memorial service, our experienced team can handle just about any request.

We offer a wide range of ceremony options. You can choose a contemporary celebration of life or a traditional religious ceremony—or integrate elements of both for a comfortable balance. We also offer cremation service options for those who choose an alternative to burial. Military funerals mark an opportunity to honor dedicated military service to our country.
