About Us


We cannot tell you how much we appreciated your services in the care of our beloved husband and father, Peter Finta. Joe showed us true concern and compassion and we were all impressed with how on top of things he was. It took a lot of worries away from the family. Top notch service. Highly recommend.

Founded in 1938...

Peter Rossi & Son Memorial Chapel was established in September of 1938 in Warren, Ohio. The original funeral home was located at 1033 East Market Street in downtown Warren, just blocks away from Trumbull Memorial Hospital in downtown Warren. In its early days, the funeral home served the ethnic Italian and Greek community in Trumbull County and has remained a pillar in the community over the last several decades.

April 1964...


Always in the forefront of the industry, Jenny Rossi saw the opportunity to move the funeral home from downtown Warren in the early 1960's. Peter Rossi Sr. travelled the country in search of the most state-state-of-the-art designs and in 1964, the Rossis moved to the current location at 1884 North Road NE. It is here where the Rossis were better able to showcase their dedication to service and detail.

A Second Generation...

In 1980, Peter P. Rossi Jr. took the reigns of the funeral home. Already a loved member of Warren community after many years of teaching at Turner Elementary School in Warren, Pete Jr. brought the funeral home into the twenty first century through compassionate care and staying in the forefront of the industry. Joined by his wife, Mary (DiLoreto) Rossi, in the mid 80's, the two were a power couple in the industry. The year 2017 brought a devastating blow to the funeral home with the death of Mary Rossi.

Bringing Families Together...

In 2018, the opportunity arose to acquire Sinchak & Sons Funeral Home, another well-established funeral firm out of downtown Warren. In addition to families calling upon Peter Rossi & Son, the funeral home would now serve families calling upon Sinchak & Sons out of the North Road Location and the downtown Sinchak location with the help of directors Raymond Sinchak, Richard Sinchak and Chelsey Santucci, Peter Rossi Jr.'s nephew.

A Brief History of Sinchak & Sons Funeral Home

The Sinchak & Sons Funeral Home opened May 1, 1953, when Stephen J. and Gertrude Misencik Sinchak purchased the Wolski Funeral Home at 727 E. Market St. Stephen and Gertrude had come from Lakewood, Ohio where Gertrude’s family operated the Misencik Funeral Homes since 1907.

A New Generation...

In 2023, Chelsey Santucci, great nephew of Peter P. Rossi Jr. and Mary Rossi, became the new owner of both Peter Rossi & Son Memorial Chapel of Warren and Sinchak and Sons Funeral Home of Warren. Having worked alongside his aunt and uncle for many years, Chelsey always dreamed of being a Funeral Director. It's a passion for him, and always has been. He loves working with people in their most difficult times and strives to make things a little easier for them. Chelsey graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in 1997 and went on to attend Youngstown State University. He graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration in 2002 and continued on to graduate in 2003 from the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science with an Associates Degree. While also, the owner of Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home and Thompson Filicky Funeral Home in Youngstown, Chelsey appointed funeral director and embalmer, Joseph Carrier, as funeral home manager and director to oversee day to day operations, funerals and arrangements. Joe is a proud native of Youngstown's west side. He graduated from Saint Christine Elementary School in 2010 and is a member of the 2014 graduating class of Ursuline High School. Joe earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from John Carroll University in 2018 and his Associate's Degree from The Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science in 2019. He is the son of Nancy Gelonese-Kirchner and Joseph P. Carrier Sr. and the grandson of Funeral Director and Embalmer, Eugene Gelonese, who passed away in 1978. Joe and his wife, Ashley (Amendol) Carrier, belong to Saint Christine Parish in Youngstown.

In 2024, Sinchak and Sons Funeral Home made the official move to 1884 North Road NE, with the closure of the original Sinchak building on East Market Street. Families that call upon Sinchak Funeral Home now have full access to the Peter Rossi & Son Memorial Chapel, which now houses and honors all Pre-Arranged funerals.

While newly retired, Peter Rossi Jr. is still dedicated to seeing each family as they come in and Chelsey and Joe are determined to continue the good work that started in 1938, serving each family with respect and dignity.
