Our Story

The Brenna-Cellini Family owned funeral homes started with Francis Brenna.  Francis Brenna, was a first generation funeral director serving in many capacities in two different counties both as a Funeral Home Owner and Operator and as the county coroner.  

Francis Brenna, the founder of Parkside Memorial Home in 1969, now Parkside Brenna-Cellini Funeral Home began with a small funeral home on High Street in the City of Burlington, NJ called Brenna Funeral Home.  Brenna Funeral Home in Burlington County opened up the vision to serve the Mercer County area in Hamilton, NJ and Ewing, NJ.  For many years he grew his business before moving to Ewing Township with his family.  He purchased Frank Cellini's Funeral business formerly located on Brunswick Avenue in North Trenton.  He built up a strong following in the Ewing Township community. 

 His son Leonard Brenna took over the daily operations of the funeral business when his father passed away in 1985.  In 1992, Leonard Brenna built the Hamilton Brenna-Cellini Funeral Home and dedicated it in his father's memory.  Both funeral homes are now run by his wife Maria Brenna and her children, Jeffrey J. Dallaris*, Francesco E. Brenna*, and Gianna M. Brenna*. The Brenna family believes in treating the families that they serve like their own family, with a strong dedication to attending to the individual wishes of those they serve with caring and compassion.
