For over 150 years, this funeral home has stood as a tribute to those who came before us and labored to create this city, and we at Raymond Funeral Home In Historic Norwalk pay tribute to them and their families by offering a gracious home-like atmosphere where the honor and memories of loved ones can be shared.



John is a fifth generation Funeral Director and is honored to provide his continued dedication to serving Norwalk and its surrounding communities.  His family began their dedication to funeral service in 1909, when they transitioned from the livery providers of carriages and hearses, to becoming licensed funeral directors. With caring dedication, from father to son, teaching the next generation the professional and caring tradition of serving families at a time of need. When John Philip Lesko became Licensed, we have the honor to be the first Sixth Generation owned Funeral Home in Connecticut. John, J.P. and their staff strive for excellence when providing service, comfort and care to families at a most difficult time. 

We continue the tradition today of serving the city of Norwalk and its surrounding communities with only one goal in mind: To offer uncompromising, professional and dignified service to the families in which we serve, that is second to none.

While we are not able to lessen the burden of loss, we strive to make the services we offer personalized and meaningful. The families we serve are the ones that inform us of their requirements in terms of services and time frames; we do not take it upon ourselves to pressure the family with unwanted services and goods. We believe in treating others as we would want to be treated. Throughout the years, we have developed a high level of sensitivity to the religious, ethnic and economic circumstances of all the families we serve.

Our Historic and charming facility has been completely renovated and offers:

It is our honor and privilege to extend professionalism and compassion as we assist you in planning a meaningful funeral or memorial service for your loved one. Unique and customized products and services are available.

Our contribution to the community goes far beyond the funeral service. We know that the funeral itself is only the first step in the grieving and healing process. In the weeks and months that follow, we continue to serve by keeping in touch and offering resources of comfort during the difficult times, as so needed by the family.
