Funeral & Cremation Services
For generations, Dale Ranck has been synonymous with end-of-life care in Northumberland and surrounding Counties. We offer a variety of services, including both traditional and contemporary burial and cremation services that provide personal attention to our families to honor and pay tribute to their loved ones. We strive to be at the forefront of innovation in caring for families, creating unique life tributes for every family served. If you are ready to make arrangements or have any questions, please feel free to call us any time at
We believe every life is worth remembering and every service provided must be beautifully memorable, more than expected and perfect in every way. You will find us to be flexible, accommodating and very receptive to answering any questions you might have.
At the arrangement conference, we will discuss all your options which will enable you to choose a service that is just right for you. Our staff is courteous and sympathetic, our facilities comfortable and spotless, and our services handled with warmth, dignity, and respect.
If there is any item of the funeral home's professional services or facilities that you are not completely satisfied with, there is no charge for that item of service. We take the risk out of selecting a provider.
The following outlines an overview of the steps taken by our experienced and caring Funeral Directors:

If a death has occurred
Please call us immediately when a death occurs, especially if the passing is at home. We will come right away. You can reach us any time day or night 24/7. Even if you want some time before we arrive, please call to make us aware of the passing so we can prepare for the transfer into our care.
Together we can determine the time you wish us to arrive that you feel would be right for you. If an attending physician or hospice care professional advises you that a passing is imminent, consider calling us then if only to make us aware and maybe answer any questions you might have at that time.
For more information, our funeral directors are available at any time, day or night. Please call us now at (570) 742-4561 with any questions or to learn more about your options.
