Segal Funeral Home is proud to announce the appointment of Charlie Rumore as our staff services director. Charlie has been serving families throughout our community for over 30 years in their time of need. After the firm he was previously associated with was acquired by a corporation, Charlie felt conflicted not only by the change in ownership but more so the change of philosophy. “I always got a tremendous amount of satisfaction in helping people, once the focus went from service to sales, it just wasn’t the same,” said Rumore. Charlie’s new position marks a return to a tradition of caring and service at a fair price. Charlie Rumore maintains his commitment to helping his friends with dignified funeral and cremation arrangements either before or during their time of need.
